North Carolina Surge

Crutch made us some pancakes, quite delicious. It was nice to trade trail stories with him, I picked his brain about the trail ahead. Today's hiking was mostly up hill, funny how you walk up hill to get to a gap. I was not really paying attention to the things around me, I was focused on getting to North Carolina. It felt odd to be standing on the GA-NC border. After nine days, including a zero, I was finally entering a new state. I took my picture at the border, and Hillbilly took my picture in front of the gnarled oak tree at Bly Gap. The climb out of the Gap was steep. Since I knew it was bad ahead of time, I set a nice slow pace and slowly but surely finished my final up hill sretch for the day. Muscrat Creek shelter is nice. I am officially in the hands of the Nantahala Hiking club. Goodbye GATC. I just watched the sunset on Raven's Cliff. Life is good. Kirby
