Stopped for a lunch break yesterday at Standing Indian Mountain, which is at mile 85.7. So, yes, I am finally out of GA and in NC! Elevation on Standing Indian Mountain is 5,498 feet. Some beautiful views. Then hiked to Carter Gap Shelter which is at mile 92 for the night.
With any luck we will make it to Winding Stair Gap and Franklin, NC today. There is a shuttle at the Gap that will take us 10 miles in to Franklin to resupply and pick up a package. We will probably spend one night at one of the hostels/motels in Franklin. Cell phone coverage has not been good these past few days.
The weather has been nice and I think I'm ready for my shorts!

We have heard that North Carolina has spectacular views. Sounds like the weather is moving in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the nice weather, hopefully spring has sprung. Phyllis sends her best wishes on your journey and said "he's doing what?!"
