I went to Grayson Highlands. We drove 4 hours from Raleigh to there and hiked 5 miles to our campsite. It was raining during the hike so it was cool and wasn't stifling or super hot. The hike was all uphill and we had to rest several times to let the people at the back catch up. We got to a shelter and there was a little notebook there. Mr. Murrell told us it was a shelter log. There was also a pen so you could write your experiences in it. We hiked all the way up until there we saw a bald part on the mountain. I ran to it thinking that we had finally got to our campsite but it wasn't ours. We had to hike another mile to get to our campsite. There were a lot of horse manure around because people ride their horses up here. We got to our campsite and we put up our tent. Me and Penn were tenting together. We had to careful not to put our tent on manure. After that we went down to the spring to get water. There was no tap so you had to get water from a spring. We had a water pump and we use a pump. We also boiled it with a Jetboil. We had food and went to bed. In the night, it rained really hard and our tent leaked. We had a bad night. In the the morning, we ate, and hiked back down. You had to be careful about slippery rocks. We got down and drove home.
