12 March 2019 - Hiked 4.3 miles to Woody Gap on the AT, then 2 miles on GA Highway 60 to restock supplies and spend the night in a real bed.

Our goal in these early days of AT thru-hiking is to limit our miles to an average of 6 to 8 miles per day, before later increasing to an overall average of 14 miles per day.

We witnessed another thru-hiker abandon the trail today. We are now seeing as many day hikers and section hikers as thru-hikers.

We started the day in long pants, but zipped off the legs and shed outer layers down to tee-shirts before lunch time. Sunny and beautiful overall...
