Days 10 + 11: Everest
Current Mileage: 93.9mi, Carter Gap Shelter, NC
Day 10:
The climb out of Dick's Creek Gap was a brutal 11.8 mile hike. Mostly uphill. A killer for the legs. Pretty sure my feet were going to fall off, but I made it! Oh man. Ouch. BUT THAT IS OKAY BECAUSE IM OUT OF GEORGIA! Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!
Day 11:
My longest day so far, over 12.5 miles. Last night was freezing, somewhere around 15degrees. Woke up to popsicles for boots and frozen water. There's nothing worse than getting out of a warm sleeping bag to put on frozen boots. Ankle deep to calf deep snow was suuuuuper fun. At least I could sing Frozen songs to myself all day. DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOOOOWWWMANNN???!?!??!
Only 2100 more miles to go and I look forward to them all.
