Today's Miles:
7.70
Trip Miles:
15.60
Up early today, well not really, since we didn't sleep much at all.
The excitement and strangeness equaled a long restless night. We had our
packs ready at six and we headed out at first light just before seven.
We
were hoping to beat the predicted rain. Our destination Gooch Gap
Shelter. We were warned that Sassafras Mt. was the first real test, but
it wasn't too bad. It was more about being tired and not eating much
that made it tough at all. Again, the excitement of the start. We've met
some nice people out here already. Wayne Hall from Arkansas, Tracy
Renaut from Mansfield and Dean from Knoxville, Tn.
Mike and I beat the rain with the early start, cooked some food and napped through the storm. Most
everyone else got caught in the rain, but the storm went by fast and we
all enjoyed some time around the campfire talking. A good ending to a
good day.
