Favorite?! That's a tough one...

GSMNP for a quick long weekend. Even though the weather can be rough I seem to get there most years around march just in time for some rain/snow/ice

Rocky Mountain NP is fantastic, if you have not been there you must add it to your list. I like it for solo trips ...

I must have smelled pretty bad!

I spent two weeks on the island a couple years ago. After doing a sort of figure 8 and getting back to Windigo I only had enough money for a sandwich and something to drink, they threw in the shower for free!
