We are currently sitting in the Hiawasee Public Library..... Zaxby's meals in the belly except for Ed who thought it would be a good idea to down 2 large blizzards from DQ for lunch. Needless to say brainfreeze was involved. Alright so here is our attempt at summing up the last 7 days without boring you and actually recollecting some factual events.
Day 1 (Amicalola State Park -> Stover Creek Shelter) (2.8mi)
What we thought originally would take us an hour or so ended up taking the better part of the day. So, it wasn't until around 4:00pm or later that Ed, Brooks, and I made our departure from the comforts of Leigh and her car. We wanted to keep it relatively relaxed for the first day, especially since we had gotten such a late start. So, soon after beginning (in the wrong direction) we righted our ways and got to the Stover Creek Shelter to set up our hammocks and make camp with our newly found friend Peter or the "Crazy Canuck."
The Beginning of the Appalachian Trail.....we are screwed! |
Ed and Brooks making some dinn's, little different than the canoli's and steak we were eating the day before. |
(Sideways) View of the Shelter we stayed next to. Unfortunately our hammocks didn't fit in this one. |
