A Different Perspective

Our first interstate crossing since starting our hike
On ramp onto Interstate 40 at the north end of the Great Smoky Mountains

When you're on foot, it feels a little strange to be walking up an Interstate ramp.

Exiting the Smokies, we came to our first interstate bisecting on the Appalachian Trail. We had to cross under I-40 to continue north.

Mountaintops outnumber road crossings on our hike. Not that I've counted. But this one felt particularly out of place after crossing the Smokies.
