On the very first day, I injured my ankle, but I refused to back down in spite of the tougher-than-expected terrain. I wedged sticks vertically into my boot to support my ankle, and continued hiking on the unpredictable terrain. On the fourth day, I hiked through hail, high winds, and ice over the optimistically named Blood Mountain.

I am sending you this letter to present you with my proposal for a new museum, that I believe will be revolutionary. It will be called the Vice Cherokee Museum. The Cherokee culture is fascinating and very vast, but unfortunately not well represented. I think our community will greatly benefit from gaining knowledge of whom the Cherokees are and what their people have been through. There is a great ignorance when it comes to the knowledge of Cherokee culture and this museum will be built in hopes of improving this problem.
