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

Day 7: Kindness

Small update today. Heading out of Hiawassee tomorrow and heading back into the mountains.  Still determining whether or not I'll push to Tray or Deep Gap Shelter.  

Left ankle is giving me problems so I'll need to watch it and take it slow until I can get into Franklin to see some magical foot people.  

Met a man named Bruce in the local supermarket today who offered to drive me back out to the trailhead.  I'm not used to this kind of kindness coming from the hustle and bustle of the Northeast.  Very strange to experience.   

Still working on that trail name.
