There was some road hiking.

Despite nearly 4000′ of climb and a late start I made it to our destination by 3:15. Captain Blogger, a hiker I just met, Hawaii, and I have been joking all night.  

Unlike the PCT, the AT seems to be dominated by old men.  On the PCT, as the old guy, I was in the minority.  On the AT, there are a bunch of people my age or older.  Makes for some great comedy.

We’ll see how I feel hiking through more rain tomorrow.  Good times!
