North Carolina Push Resupply

Miles covered: 11.8ish

Hello readers :B

Today I rushed for 9 miles to be picked up by a shuttle so I could resupply for the push from Georgia to Franklin NC. Went into town and met some other thru hikers and we had lunch. Last night at low gap I was like okay let’s try a shelter for the first time… I unknowingly slept in the infamous mouse shelter. There was mices literally scurrying around and on my sleeping bag and for some reason people were all nonchalant about it. I can barely sleep anyways on this trip sooo. I think total sleep time in the past few days is less I’d get in a single night. I bought melatonin so hopefully that helps. Ouch. Also ran into Brandon when I was waiting for the shuttle. Shoutout to Brandon. Also I was worried I left Green Man and maybe wouldn’t see him for a while but he surprisingly just spawned out of nowhere in the grocery store I visited. Today was the first day I really actually missed home. I’m back in the groove now. I carried white monster all the way up this highway mountain (and full water supply) in hopes of getting a camping spot at the top but it was full. All spots im the area were full so I made my own spot and successfully set up there! I think I’m over 50 miles in now so not too bad. Also lemme post some pics from yesterday in this post like I promised. First pic ā€œTrail Magicā€ from yerstersay. Second is of someone’s I don’t know who’s art and the third is at a restaurant I treated myself to in town with some thru hikers I just met. IMG_5289 IMG_5290 IMG_5291
