Travel day Drive down to the airport with Mom, Dad and Shannon, jealous that they were getting donuts and hanging with Miguel after. Plane got delayed for some reason beyond my comprehension, gave me plenty of time to charge my devices and watch one of the best movies of all time Sat across the aisle from a really cute baby, not as cute as Miguel obviously Had myself a Pepsi (JetBlue doesn't do coke apparently ...) And bacardi, and slept as well as the baby next to me. Amanda from the Grateful hiker picked me up where she drove me and a Canadian to the start of the AT. We listened to a quick 10 minute leave no trace talk, officially registered and learned how to properly throw our bear bag. Spent the rest of the night chatting around the campfire with "Karma" somebody who has hiked the AT 4 times before. Got some great advice, are some ramen, brushed my teeth and settled in for the night. Cheers to the r...
Probably the best day on trail Woke up at 3:30 this morning to catch the sunrise on McAfee Knob and it did not disappoint, definitely my favorite view and sunrise of the trail Had some more miles to get into town, had a killer pulled pork salad. Last resupply on trail. Ran into some day hikers, one of them had a son who hiked the trail so she gave me an oatmeal cookie, didn't remember to take a picture till the last bite. To top it all off, when we left town, we also hit 1/3rd of the way to Katahdin, Had no idea that I would be able to make it this far, but definitely surprised and happy that I did Until tomorrow 🤙 See ya lovelies
Not as rainy as expected It was supposed to be heavy rain all day through tonight but it ended up clearing up around noon. Waking up and getting on trail sucked this morning since everything was wet. 12 miles to the next shelter we wanted to camp at. It was a long wet day, and it looks like it'll be worse tomorrow. But we're headed to Clingmans Dome which might be the highest point on the trail I believe. It will also be 200 miles on trail which is exciting. Going to resupply in Gatlinburg on Sunday. Not sure when I'll have service to post these so until then See ya lovelies 😘
