[at-l] Trip Report: Long. Unicoi onward, Part 1

[mmatga2me99@trail-life.com (M&M)]

Back in 99 a gentleman by the name of Wyoming Skateboarder carried an
external pack that weighed about 100 lbs.  Daggone pack split in two
somewhere in the North.  Picked up a new pack and still chugged along,
paddle (yes that's right folks a canoe paddle) and all.  Got to give him
credit.
