100 Miles

On Wednesday we reached the 100 mile mark and crossed the NC border, trail success continues. Since last week we've been doing 10-16 mile days thanks to lots of awesome weather, getting into the trail rhythm, and our trusty ibuprofen.

All of our campsites are pretty evenly spaced out, which makes the daily planning easy and has allowed us to meet and hike with many of the same vagabonds. Enjoying and living in the AT community at its finest.

For those of you who aren't as familiar, hitchhiking is the best and most efficient way to get to and from town. We've so far had two successful rides both marked with friendly drivers and even better stories.

The good weather stretch ended last night with the craziest thunder/lighting storm any of us have experienced.. Naturally, we all stayed dry except for Jason, who decided to gather his own lake in his tent to better conserve water.

We are now nearing the end of a day off to resupply and consume local goodness! Resuming the 9-5 life in the woods in the morning, more soon.
