Fri 17 Sep - Rock Gap Shelter

Foggy at dawn but a cooler, less humid day.  Maybe 80 in the sun but 70s in the green tunnel.

Tough day - 19.6 miles - Wendy with her knee problem and me with my blisters.  Her knee is bad on the mornings but seems to get better through the day.  Exhausting for both of us.

If we can do 19.7 tomorrow and 16.7 on Sunday, we will be back to Hiawassee and have done in four days (67.5 miles) what took us five coming north.  If we can do it without hurting ourselves.  In any case we are doing much better. 

High point today was Wayah Bald at 5342 ft. which as the stone tower being reconstructed.  Views have not been good and it is hazy. 

Some good water sources today but some dry ones too.  We need to stay fully loaded when we have the chance.   Time consuming and heavy!
