Got into Erwin, TN yesterday after a 27 mile day. After doing 22 and 18 the previous days, and feeling pretty good this morning I think my body might be ready for some real mileage. Its been cold for June down here, which hasn’t been fun. Three nights ago I used my brand new poncho-tarp as a shelter. I’ve learned that it does fine keeping rain from falling directly on top of you, but doesn’t help much for the rain that hits the ground and then splashes you with cold water and mud. Not much else to report, though hopefully I’ll have cell service soon and can post daily updates again.

Quote from a shelter two nights ago: “I’m not a crazy person, I don’t see ghosts a lot, just occasionally.”
