Day one, Smokemont Campground to Cabin Flats campsite. Nice hike. Mostly wide trail until you get to the little falls. Then it gets less taken care of and narrower. Had the upper part of the site to ourselves. 5.13 miles in to the campsite.
Noticed some fireflies coming out at dusk and we stayed up. Ended up getting the show of our lives. Hundreds of Synchronous Fireflies lining the hillside by about 10 pm. Just the two of us and the fireflies for about an hour before we went to bed. That alone made it worth the trip.
The gravity filter was a very nice addition to the gear.
