Day 23 - Traveling home

Sunday, May 29, 2022

Weather - Party cloudy, high of 84F

Steps - Shaun: 5,339, Shannon: 5,556

Varmints - 2 deer, 2 turkeys, and several goats all came out to bid us adieu when we were leaving Marshall, while a heron and some hawks were here to welcome us back to Michigan.

Well, folks, that's a wrap on our Great Smoky Mountains adventures! This has been an absolutely wonderful trip. It was a journey filled with the broadest vistas and the tiniest wildflowers, roaring waterfalls and quiet rainfall, cacophonous birdsong and rustling leaves. We saw creatures big and small, from black bears and elk to salamanders and hummingbirds. We got to do everything we love, including exploring gardens and natural spaces, learning about new places, taking time to view and appreciate local art and artists, hiking, and shopping. 

The only thing more perfect than that is that we got to spend the time together, which is a gift worth more than anything. Thank you for going on this journey with us, and until our next trip, we bid you adieu!
