Day 28 - 06 April/Saturday Hiked 8.0 miles to Birch Spring Tentsite at mile 172.3 inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The hike included 2,966 feet of ascents and 484 feet of descents. Met our second Chinese citizen hiking on the AT - a kind young woman from northeast China near the border with Russia and North Korea. Her name is 赵婧仪 but she prefers Daniel (Daniel Zhao) as a nickname, after the Harry Potter character.
