Mon 04 Oct - Erwin, TN (zero day)

Cold and rainy again, same as yesterday. High in the 50s.

We said goodbye to Hot Springs, NC and drove to Erwin, TN. It is good to have access to a car, but it can also be a pain. Sometimes it is a magic carpet, and sometimes it is a boat anchor.

We are staying at the Nolichucky Hostel. I have arranged a shuttle with them (James and Glen) for a one day slack pack. This will test Wendy's knee. She says it feels better. If she should have a problem, we will be closer to a car and in any case will return here for the night. If all goes well, we will then go out for three days, from Allen Gap and hike back to here. Then, out for two days to the north and then relocate again. This time to Damascus, VA. We will still have about 5 days hiking to get there on the trail but we are getting there.
