 | Comments: |
Weather held together just fine throughout the day, although the clouds and haze moved in during the second half, much to my dismay. A lot of AT hikers euphoric that they’re within about 200 miles of the finish line. A couple AT hikers that are still happy to be underway, even though they’re only 200-ish miles from the starting line. In short, it was a heck of a day to be outside.
Words and pictures will be on my blog in the next day or two. |
