    Morning limped in with the moisture-sodden air and grim perpetual twilight I had come to associate with the Smokies. Shreds of mist coiled in the gloom beneath the trees like cobras preparing to strike. The trees and underbrush were still dripping wet from the rain.

    May 22, 1983, 43 years ago today: I slept badly. The drumming of the rain on the tin roof of the shelter haunted my dreams. I just felt if I did not make those 15 miles to Davenport Gap Shelter today, I would be forced to quit and my fragile dream of Katahdin would flicker out.

    May 21, 1983, 43 years ago today: The trail around Charlies Bunion was not as scary as other backpackers had led me to believe it would be. Nevertheless, it was impressive.

    May 20, 1983, 43 years ago today: The weather continued to improve as we approached Indian Gap, with Newfound Gap less than two miles ahead.

When we were still a half-mile from Newfound Gap, the sky fell.

    May 20, 1983, 43 years ago today: The day started off well. It was an overcast morning, but gradually clearing. I made the initial three-mile climb to Clingman’s Dome, the highest point on the Appalachian Trail, in good shape — in about ninety minutes. The summit had an observation tower, but it was completely engulfed by a cloud.
