Day 35 - parental slack packing!

Day 34 - Damascus & parents!

Day 33 - gentle terrain

Day 32 - one month!

Weather was still super shit (frigid, dense fog, misty) when I woke up. The buckles that attach my rain fly to the bathtub part of my tent had frozen solid, so had to blow on them to melt the ice. My tent was encrusted in ice and I packed up at least a pound of it. Then my food bag was frozen in its bear hang in the tree and I had to run and jump onto it to pull it down. Climbed Little and Big Hump mountains and was terrified. Low visibility, ripping winds, way below freezing, wet. 
Made it down to Roan Mountain to get my Mail Drop and had a sandwich, beer, and hot chippies that might’ve saved my life. 
Mile 400!
