Day 14 cont’d.
I really pushed myself today. I wanted to make Muskrat Creek
in less than 8 hours. I did great and felt good until I hit the North Carolina
line, then it was all uphill. I climbed 2100 feet. Not all at once, but over
the whole trail, mostly in North Carolina. That’s right- I hiked Georgia! Of
course I stopped along the way. Saw a snail, where did he pick up his shell?
Saw a little bird, flitting from tree to tree.
I have to take my pack off to pee, and when I want a drink,
I have to find a good log so I can brace my pack, unhook the front and twist my
arm around to get my water bottle. I’m getting pretty good at it.
I met a nice young man named Austin. He kept the fire
burning all evening and even burned a bunch of trash that somebody left behind.
I gave him the trail name ‘Pyro’. He liked that.
