this blog chronicles my 2189.1 mile thru hike of the appalachian trail in 2016.

Day 6: Reprieve

After hiking 2.4miles to Unicoi gap I am taking a zero day in Hiawassee to dry off, shower, and eat.  

Huge shout out to Wayne, a wonderful man, for letting two smelly hikers hitch in your truck!  The tour of the town was great.  

Thus far I have eaten 1700 calories at taco bell.  Seriously the Quesalupa is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.  Also a 600+ calorie bomb for like 2.50.  Shout out to Garret for the idea.  So good and disgusting at the same time.  Seriously though, the Taco Bell in Hiawassee is the cleanest, nicest, well staffed fast food place I've ever been.  

Tomorrow is a zero and I'll be spending the day eating and sleeping.   

 

A cheesey, crispy, calorie bomb.  I will miss you.
