Day: 6,7
Weather: sunny, hot
Distance: 31 miles
Nothing all that exciting to report, other than the continuous beautiful scenery. Staying at the hostel helped refresh us. We had two good, if somewhat hot days of hiking, though we are still doing fairly short distances as we continue to get our trail legs.
Yesterday we hooked up with The Preacher, who is still with us today. The four of us camped at a scenic little site just shy of an area that required bear canisters to camp in. Absolutely stunning sky that night, followed by a gorgeous sunrise. I also had to repair a strap on my pack (already). Not a high mark for the pack.
Today we summited Blood Mountain, the highest point in Georgia. One of us has a little bit of a bug so we are staying at another hostel tonight, at a very well known outfitters. So far all I got there was materials to make a belt. We snuck in a laundry while here.
