Day 3
4.6.18
It's comfortable during the day and chilly at night. The trail is crowded with lots of young people. It's great being able to spend time with Charlie and to hike the beginning of the trail with him. We are working on a trail name for him. Maybe by tomorrow that will be confirmed!
We've made it to Blairsville, 31 miles, and I will restock tomorrow, get a new phone, spend the night in town because it is going to be in the 20's. Last year I started in VA just a week later and it was much, much warmer. Charlie will head back home tomorrow and I will truly miss his companionship and enthusiasm.
Then I will be solo! But there are lots of people on the trail. Lots. It will thin out though as I go north. And I hope to meet up with Ragnar and Guiness in a couple of weeks. Then it will be like old times!
Yesterday we enjoyed a rest in the warm sun. So much better than the weather back home where I hear it is snowing!
