    That is the same exact spot that Braids went down the wrong path. I saw a orange-yellow blaze on a tree but she didn't notice the first one. By the second one (shown in her video) the trail had deteriorated so bad that she started questioning it and realized her mistake. By that point the trail had so many blowdowns and was so narrow she was wondering. Not sure if you took the same wrong path but this is a heads up to future hikers, maybe ? They really need to better mark the trails (AT and side trails) on Wayah Bald so that it isn't so confusing.

    Do me a favor? In the recent past I have placed "Tallahassee Tom" counter brushes in almost every shelter from Springer Man. to Davenport Gap (north end of GSMNP). These are to sweep off the sleeping platforms. Some have survived at location for up to 4 years. Some were replaced Fall 2019. They all have a strip of bright colored duct tape and a string to hang. Have you seen any? When I am up that way in Spring and Fall I always check some shelters and replace brushes as needed. I have always been greatly impressed that hikers have left the brushes for those that come later. Brooms do not survive as long.

      When you go from Carvers Gap to 19E, hope The Station on 19E is open - sweet hostel and great craft beers but COVID -19 may have shut it down - problem is thru hikers need support and places like The Station on 19E provide that support.

    Making a wrong turn -- the same thing happened to me last year in Virginia (only my wrong turn was more negligent on my part, because I blew through a clear "change of trail" blaze). And I also fell on my wrong turn. But you didn't let it ruin a good day, which shows that you are in a good place physically and mentally. North Carolina is beautiful for sure. Thanks to you, and Chica and Sunsets, for the great views,

    I see you stumbled thru LostVille, a town that pops up every now and then on the trail.
    Just try not to stay there too long or you might not leave. Thank goodness for Guthooks.
    WrongWayVille is another scenic attraction that you will most likely encounter at least once.
    Just when you have hiked a nice section of the trail, you will find yourself going back over it again.

    I love that fire tower - the Tellico Fire 3 1/2 (Fall 2016) years ago burned all the trees and Rhododendron at the top of that hill and burned the roof off the shelter - as for no folks being there, the forest service has not yet opened the road up to Wayah Bald - they close it in winter - you will enjoy the walk to the NOC - don't know if you will get there before everything closes except the general store because of COVID-19 - kept the store open for resupply for thru hikers but no lodging and restaurants
