Sad way to usher hikers across their first state line.
Day 8, July 29, 2020
Double Spring Gap to Thunder Rock Campground
Mile 93.8
My Sophie’s Choice…
EITHER look at the ground to avoid crushing one of the hundreds of snails curled up on the trail,
OR look up to avoid face-planting into full-fledged and active spider webs.
Sorry, snails.
The best part of the day was discovering HOT SHOWERS at the Thunder Rock Campground on the Ocoee River, where Ralph met me for resupply and brought fluffy towels to go with my shower.
Life is good amongst the spider webs.
And the flowers of the BMT.
