Backpacking trip to Spence Field -May 2004

For this trip, we parked at the Cades Cove ranger's station and backpacked to campsite #9 in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We setup camp here and dayhiked further up to the summit of Thunderhead mountain, Rocky Top, and Spence Field. This trip occured from May 23rd to May 25th 2004.
