Here I am at Neel's Gap, which is about 31 miles from Springer Mountain, the start of the trail. Statistically speaking, not many people make it this far.. I have resupplied here with enough to make it to Haiwassee (3-4 days up the trail). OH! and there was some AWESOME trail magic here at Neel's Gap as well! A church in Georgia (soooo sorry I forgot the name!!) was providing hot hamburgers, cookies, and brownies. I had 3 hamburgers and some brownies.. Spirits are high! Two nights ago we were rocked by a severe storm-- hail, rain, snow, high wind. Fuuunnnn time... I've met some nice folks already.. This couple from Holland matches my hiking pace. They're teaching me some Dutch words. Until next time,
Soulslosher out!
Great news, Josh. Such a great thing to do. If you see anything really unique (bldgs.) get good pictures - my son is an artist and is looking for unique things to draw. He does e/t in pen and ink! Take care and be careful!
