Certainly not boaring...

3/6/08 - Originally torn between hiking to Tray Mtn. shelter (12 mi) or continuing on to Deep Gap which was to be determined by tonight's weather...

  • Wound up hiking 20 miles (!!!) to the Deep Gap shelter
  • Good news: he'll be sleeping-in in the morning instead of hiking through the brunt of the rain (which looks to be peaking around 10 am or so)
  • Rolled ankle 2x coming down the mountain - seems to be okay
  • Planning on cutting back to 4 mi tomorrow & heading into Hiawassee to restock
  • Fun fact: when we spoke this evening there were wild boar rooting around in the bushes outside the shelter - which I've learned aren't necessarily friendly - so we got off the phone fairly quickly so he could get safely back inside... : /

Glad to read about the hike!

I walked to the coffee shop today. Not quite 2 miles . . . not quite 20 minutes, actually.

Thanks for the updates.
