Let's see tomorrow I roll into Erwin TN for my fourth and final resupply from home. The last few days have been full of hiking. It's hard to hike Ll day, get into camp, do your chores , eat AND journal. Hoyt decides to hike out with Ben who is going to meet his wife and get a ride home. He is bound and determined to be back. Although he'll have to wait if he lands the job he thinks he will flying helicopters for some oil company. I'm on my own again. Tonight is at Bald Mountain Shelter and the place is full. There is a lot of wet in the air and it's raining by next morning. I seem to be doing 16 and 18 mile days with little trouble. But it really does depend on the trail. There is always a mishmash of hikers, experience and equipment. Lots of south bounders comming through now and as I stop to talk with them they all seem to know who is in front of them and who is behind them. It's a wonderful conversation even for us "section" hikers because we too get a pretty good idea of who is on the trail and where they are. Throw in a dozen day hikers/ foliage peepers and there is not a day goes by that you don't get to chat with someone and at least make your location known.
