Brown Fork Gap to Fontana Dam

I got up in pain, my knee is hurting but I have no choice but to keep going until Gatlinburg 4 days from here. I labored over easy terrain till cable gap where I ate lunch. the climb out there was tougher than it should have been but my right knee was giving out all day. I made it to Fontana Crossing at 3pm and got a shuttle to the general store to ressupply. I got a burger and salad at the grill there , and sat and talked with Jesse James before hiking on to the camping area. I set up my tent, walked the grounds looking for cell phone reception which has been fleeting, and took some pics . the group from last night is very loud and I'm looking forward to leaving them behind. hope the knee gets better!
