Backpacking fail! Snow filled SOLO overnight in Cumberland Gap National Park

Wow was this a backpacking fail! I originally intended on making this backpacking trip to the Smoky mountains in North Carolina/Tennessee but ended up detouring to Cumberland Gap National Park. I spent a very snow filled overnight and got to practice some significant winter hiking. The area was absolutely gorgeous covered in the snow. As always I learned alot and try to take positive lessons every time I go out.
Some of my gear:
Backpacking Sleeping pad: amzn.to/2uLaqKy
Backpacking stove: amzn.to/2eYD5X1
GPS: amzn.to/2uKynBy
Headlamp: amzn.to/2vVQ144
