That is Maria behind those cool shades and sporting the flip flops and socks! Her friend Sarah is sitting out of the picture which was taken just across the stream at Little Bottoms trail head at campsite #1. They were completing an overnight trip I'm thinking from #17, on Abram's Creek. We had come up on them as we made the final descent on the steep trail into campsite #1, and I admired the fact that she didn't bust it in the flip flops coming down the last ridge. Maria was proud and told us how she had assured Sarah she'd be all right hiking in them because "I'm a southern girl", and she made it! She told us she had to remove her boots because they were too small, told us she hadn't worn 'em in a while before beginning this trip. We hope they get out and appreciate the wild life more often and I congratulate them for getting out and enjoying the fabulous weekend in the Smokies!
