Today was TOUGH. We got the shuttle out of town and set off towards the anticipated NC border. I was slow going right away. I think being in town softened me up. I got a good night's sleep, but I was so tired on the trail. Like sleepy tired. I was struggling. Anna led most of the day and was doing awesome. I was crawling. Exhausted. Discouraged. The border seemed so far away. When we finally crossed into NC, the trail immediately went straight up a mountain. And for a long time. It was brutal and my knee was killing me, but it was beautiful as always. We set up camp just before the shelter on a ridge overlooking the valley below. Ate dinner as the sun set. Then Cicada, John, and a few other guys came up from the shelter to watch the sun set. Romantic moment FAIL. But it was fine. Pretty cool guys. Tonight is a cold one. Wish I was snuggled with Anna.
