Day 3 of AT in North Carolina NOBO

Carter Gap Shelter (AT Mile Marker 93.5) to Rock Gap (#105.6) and shuttle to Franklin, NC and off day tomorrow.
Daily Mileage: 12.1

Woke up to frost this am and I did have super cold hands getting my bear bag down from the tree (even with 2 sets of gloves on). Slept well, though. All bundled up in my 30 degree sleeping quilt with multiple clothing layers on.

Sunny again today with amazing views from the top of Albert Mountain (5,300 ft. Elev.) about 6 miles in. Met 2 day hikers at the top along with Jason from Los Angeles who is thru hiking. Jason and I hiked the 6 mile ambling downhill to the road at Rock Gap and took the town shuttle (only $5!), into Franklin, NC for our zero day tomorrow. Got to the Rodeway Inn (😏), took an wonderful hot shower, and then stuffed my face down the street at Sakura Japanese Restaurant. All is good.Baca lagi
