Today, the hike was more like the Pacific Crest Trail.  First, you make a big climb, then you cruise on the ridgeline.  You can see it in the big jump in mileage.  I hope to do more of that.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was also pretty cool today. I could move without sweating.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Blaze’s pack broke a strap.  We have two evenings on trail before we reach Franklin, NC for a badly needed resupply.  With the strap broke, we may need to zero.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tonight, will be a test of my gear.  It’s going to drop down to 18 degrees.  I have every single piece of clothing on.  My outer shell is currently around my legs.  We’ll see how this goes.<\/div>\n
