Saturday was a cool day and we walked 18 miles. During our walk we came across about 20 AT volunteers who were Fixing the trail and painting white blazes on the trees. There were many beautiful views since we climbed several bands. In the morning we came across some trail magic. A guy have us an apple, soda, and KitKats. He told us that his wife, Jersey Girl, was hiking the trail ahead of us. We met up with her when we got to camp. We talked for a while and she told us that her husband would give us trail magic Sunday, today, also. Sadly we woke up too early and got to the road before he did. No trail magic today. On a positive note, we went 22.8 miles today. There were not many mountains today. Early this morning we climbed a bald and it was very windy. We were almost blown over. We are hoping to be in Damascus VA by Thursday to resupply on food.
We were on the NC and TN boarder for the last week or two until today. We will now be in TN until we get to VA
It doesn't look big on this picture, but it was about 1.2 miles from where I took the picture to the top.
Lunch by the waterfall.
Snake!!! Right in the middle of the trail.
Awesome pics and stories, Daniel. Makes me wish I was hiking the AT, too. :) Look forward to your posts.
