Blue mtn to sassafras gap
Today was a long day! It was our most mileage yet. We were aiming for addis gap which was 0.9 further but by the time we got to sassafras it was enough. There were big hills during the first half of the day as we hiked up to tray gap. We got some super awesome trail magic today!! As we came into unicoi I said, "I smell fried food" and Brayden said I don't smell it and then we saw the tents :-D At the bottom of the hill was a church group who was grilling up burgers, had soda, chips, snickers bars!, and delicious food and fire pit and it was amazing. They were there right before this large hill called rocky mtn. But I didn't even think anything about the mtn because I was still on my cheeseburger high. That magic lasted basically all day haha.
Weather today was good, it's been pretty cool and breezy in the mornings not really warming up until lunch or an elevation change.
We were beat when we got to camp but got there early enough to set up and do dinner and hang our bear bag all before it got completely dark and got to bed and passed out. Around 5:30 in the morning, Hope started scratching around and we heard a 'whoosh' as Brayden sank to the ground when his sleeping pad got a hole in it. We will plan to hike into hiawasee next so we will have to see what happens.
