Miles today 8.6
Total miles 77.1
Hiawasee to Bly gap
Today we reached the big milestone of crossing into a new state! We officially left GA and are in NC! We camped just past the border crossing and plan to do a shorterish day tomorrow as bad weather is expected to start around noon and go to evening. It was a lot of climbing today and we ran out of/were super low on water the last 4 miles of the day. Luckily someone passed us who was nice enough to share some of their extra. Weather today was sunny and nice but got pretty warm with all the climbing, not looking forward to the summer heat haha. Except for maybe allowing for a lighter pack weight? We'll see :-).
Hoping tomorrow's weather isn't too brutal, they're calling for big storms starting mid afternoon thru eve and been over hearing talk of hail?!? Crossing fingers were set up before it starts tomorrow. Planning some early morning hiking to hopefully get to the next location and maybe beat it.
We've planned our first zero day at the NOC in about a week as we were able to get a pet friendly bunkhouse with some hiker friends. Looking forward to a roof and a rest day!! Thanks for all the support, kind thoughts, comments and packages! Love to everyone at home and can't wait to catch up soon! Until then, happy trails!
