Hike - beginning of sheltowee


This hike will start at Pickett State Forest Tennessee and end at Peters Mountain in Daniel Boone National Forest. It is 15.6 miles end to end.

This is the beginning of http://www.sheltoweetrace.com/ Map of the location. Better (PDF) map showing 2/3 of the trail in more details - we slept at Great Meadows (but to get to State line is at least 4 miles ... which translates in 3 hours of walking)

To get to the Great Meadows was a stretch and it took from 10 o'clock in the morning till 7.30 pm ... (10 o'clock due to logistics of taking a car to the end of the hike so we all can come back to the starting point)

It was a difficult one, according to another map it was actually 17 miles and we made the 12 or so the first day.

Sincerely,
Shamick P. Gaworski

Shamick, You are blessed with such a beautiful family. It warms my heart to see families, like yours, enjoying the simple things of life, such as celebrating birthdays, vacationing and just spending time together. What you and your family have together is very special and, sadly, it is very rare in today's world. Enjoy every moment and savor every smile and giggle. Blessings, Sandy

Thanks Sandy. I know I am blessed. Sometimes I only wish some people who I care (past?) about saw that as well ...

Shamick, I agree with Sandy. You are definitely a strong family man. The smiles on your darling daughters and wife faces says it all. That is priceless:):):):)Shelly

Now that the kids are getting older my wife and I can take a bit of a break from our ~4 years of "hard kids work" and return to all activities we used to do. I am glad I met you Shelly, you are very positive and fun to be around person.

Have no idea, however, how not so obvious the impressions of the faces appear to some people but I guess "cynicism and emptiness" works in mysterious ways, some times unconscious ways ...
