I spent a soaking wet week with my girl in the Smokies a couple of weeks back. It rained literally every day, and rained the entire hike on a couple of the hikes we went on. We were going to backpack a couple of the days, but I wussed out since I messed my ankle up on the AT. We still had fun, since it was a week away from work in the woods, but at least one day with no rain would have been nice.
