Days 8 + 9: No Rain, No Pain, No Maine

Hiked out of Unicoi Gap and had a short day to Tray Shelter yesterday.  Weather was rain, rain, and more rain.  Very miserable. Feet hurt, but I'm excited to hit Franklin and see the foot magicians there.  

Today I booked the 11 miles from Tray Shelter to Top of Georgia Hostel in about 4.25 hours.  A fairly decent 2.6mph.  Woke up to sideways rain, hail, and thunderstorms.  At least it's not snow.  Last night at Tray Shelter had brutal wind and rain, with probably 50mph gusts.   

Muddy, wet trails.

Apparently I'm in Australia because my photos keep uploading upside down.
