Sweetwater TN...and Still Walking

Heat is already here. Not too hot to just stand and breathe, but I seem to move too much. Wet clothes by 10 a.m. Ugh. Walking tar with a backpack calls for a cart load of water here in March. That'll be a wagon load by summer. Maybe I should have swam somewhere. No. I'd hit ice, or sharks. Or sharks on ice. I'll keep heading for the boot state. New Orleans? We'll see. Based on word of mouth, it doesn't look good for the far south living in the woods like I do. I'll keep you posted. Again, sorry I can't share more now. I'll keep looking for libraries. My journal is getting fat with a need to share.
From sleeping deep in a cave in a snow storm, to a visit through charming Townsend, and the Smokies, I have covered alot of ground. The good news is that the bears didn't get me ...or my food. The bad news is that the library closes in six minutes.

Thank you all for your warm and encouraging emails. I will write notes out as soon as I can. Thanks again for staying with me.
