107 miles down, 2000 or so to go...
Adam and I have been out now for a little over a week, covering an average of ~12 miles a day, and essentially living the dream. Right now we're staying at a hiker's motel in Franklin, NC with new friends Davy Jones and Mr. Green Tea (see next post explaining trail names) to do some laundry, grocery shop, SHOWER, and generally re-group.
Our first three days were full on rain and fog - In fact we had no idea what Georgia looked like until late the 3rd night. Since then we've been moving forward with new trail companions in sunny weather and nursing several swollen knees and aching feet.
Highlights included crossing into North Carolina and climbing Albert mountain. We also encountered our first "Trail Magic" when getting to Winding Stair Gap. A couple had a tent set up and food/water available for hikers to take a break - a few minutes later Ron Haven's famous bus came and drove us into town.
Pictures are tough to sort out. Click on them for link to full image.
