[at-l] Stitches back on the trail

[Mara Factor]

I spent that day hiking to Newfound Gap but realized it was still too cold 
to be out overnight so I went into Gatlinburg and spent the night.  Saw a 
bear on my way into town.  Cool!  Thenit was back on the trail the next 
morning - a big day to Tri Corner Knob shelter and then a bigger day to 
Standing Bear Farm which is basically standing room only tonight - I'll be 
camped out on a porch or kitchen or somewhere - no bunk space for us 
latecomers.

Hot Springs by Friday or Saturday...
