Had our best night of sleep yet. Go figure. Right on a main road above a parking lot. Woke to a beautiful morning excited that we hit our goal of 20 miles of the AT. Although bitter sweet because we really grew attached to Momma Luna, Crunchy, and Durango. Part of us wishes we were going on up the trail with them and the other thru hikers. Although sitting here typing this in a nice fluffy bed ain’t a bad place to reflect on our journey.

Had a somewhat lazy morning with our only goal of being packed by 10am for our ride back to civilization. Our trail family however were busy plotting out their day. They have 10.3 miles to Neel Gap for their resupply but bad weather coming. Not to mention bear activity ahead during that stretch. Sending good thoughts for happy trails ahead

Tater and I rolled into Amicalola around 2pm and immediately went to check out the food. Low and behold tater tots were on the menu. Time to celebrate.

What a great adventure! I’ve seen her grow in so many ways over this trip. Sure am proud of her. Glad there are places like this to unplug and get back to our roots so to speak. Nature sure has a way of humbling one and showing meaning in things we don’t often see suiting behind a school or work desk. 20 miles down! 2,180 to go!
