2014/3/27 Mile 44.5
Started the day off in the hostel. Slept well and legs felt OK. Drained a blister on my right heel and just looked at the one on my left pad. Bought coffee and fuel in the store once it opened. Hawkeye (now Gazelle) and Billy (now Nautilus) are hiking to the same location as I so we planned to meet up at Low Gap shelter.
Got some great trail magic at a gap with food, coffee, and cokes. Met King Tut there who runs it as a ministry. They were giving out crochet hats and I took one. Really nice.
Remembered a lot of the hike from our family outing in the freezing rain in 2012. Low Gap Shelter was full so we hiked on to a nice tent site hoping the rain tomorrow won't start before sunrise. Boss and his friend decided to tent with us.
We are now gathered around a small fire trying to enjoy the last of the nice weather before the two days of rain forecasted for Friday and Saturday. Plan to split a hotel room with Gazelle and Nautilus in Hiawasse so we can dry out Saturday night and maybe get some beers.
