4/16/12. 16 miles –
Today was another big Milage day. I didn’t start out to do such a big day, but I felt realty good when I reached the place I planned to stop – it was only 3 pm – and decided to continue on. Now I’m not sure it was such a good idea – I’m really beat.
Tonight I’m camped with four other hikers, only a mile away from the Nantahalia Outdoor Center, a river rafting adventure complex on the Nantahalia river. I will resupply and clean up but move on before afternoon. Most of my fellow hikers are renting rooms for the night.
I met a couple of young guys that use hammocks to sleep in. They are really nice kids, both Eagle Scouts, having a great time hiking. There trailnames are Wrench and Pocahontas.
