I regret sending my sleeping bag home. Woke up freezing at 3am, and waited for the sun and the Blackburn caretaker's coffee.

I would have participated in Hike Naked Day, but being in a park with mostly children and elderly, I decided to not get arrested instead.

Got a shower at a nearby church that houses hikers. Too bad they don't allow dogs

If you have time, eat at Weezey's in Waynesboro. It's a diner with awesome breakfasts & great prices... you won't be disappointed!
Past few days were very hot/humid. I jumped in every river/creek I saw. Today the cool breeze has returned! Fitting for Cold Mtn. 803mi

That's insane. How close was it? Did it see you?

It was hobbling away from a shelter as I walked up. Its paw was injured. It turned and looked back at us a few times before disapearing into the woods
Hiked/ran/hopped the ~10 miles to Pearisburg in just over two hours. No-pack: the only way to fly.

Dairy Queen and a swimming pool are good motivation too.
The downside to being first on the trail in the morning is that you get to walk through all the spider webs. 602mi

Adam, I am doing something similar

What did you have and what did you get?

I had a slumberjack, and I got a Lafuma Extreme 600. So far it's been great!
Successfully hiked to Damascus in time to watch LOST. My arms felt left out, so I carried 35 lbs of beer/food for a mile.

what are you going to steal it or something?
I see why T-Mobile stays out of the Verizon/AT&T map war. T-Mo has ZERO presence along the AT.

One minute eating bananas + PB & drinking juice + vodka. The next minute in pouring rain. Such is life.

When the trail goes straight up, it's like I'm hiking up the mountain's middle finger.
