Day 10 (Plumorchard Gap Shelter -> Standing Indian Shelter) (12.4 mi, 86.3 mi total)
Today was a great day with great progress to boot. After crossing the state line (GA/NC) we quickly realized that we still had plenty of elevation outside of Georgia. The stateline and the ascent to Bly Gap gave us fair warning of the trails ahead. We took some time to lunch at Muskrat Creek Shelter and then continued on. Our longest day for the trip left us setting up camp at the Standing Indian Shelter and fearing the coming storm. Luckily, we found some company in Matt (

Thanks Gary, I appreciate it and it definitely has been an amazing trip so far. I think we have experienced almost every kind of weather the trail can throw us except for snow so far. Hope all is well.
