Week 1 under our belts!! This included pouring rain day 2 followed by a cold snap that caused all of our wet clothes to freeze. Literally we put on frozen shorts over leggings and hiked as they thawed and dried (sort of). The temperature dropped to 16 two nights in a row. We were warm enough in our tent but breaking camp in the morning was brutal. Tonight (3/8/19) we are in Top of Georgia Hostel where $40 gets you a bunk, a towel for showering, scrubs to wear while they do your laundry and lots of good company. What are our trail names? Steve is now “Skins” and Judy is “Steamy”.  We hit the trail in the morning and in 8.9 miles Cross into North Carolina.
