Today we leapfrogged the section hikers all day. We ascended Iron Mountain and followed ridgeline for quite awhile. It was beautiful terrain and even more beautiful views. Watauga lake was constantly in view on our right. Nothing very eventful happened today. By the end of the day we found a very wonderful little campsite not far from the road crossing with TN 91 where we made a fire and had a little group reading session to relax. We erected our tents, I hung a bear bag in the dark, and we went to bed.
We met another section hiker today named Sriracha who is test hiking the AT before he plans his thru hike. He will most likely join us in Damascus for our town day.
