North Carolina

Hey Y'all,

We've made it to Fontana Dam, North Carolina, where it's hot. We've been putting in solid miles; yesterday was a 24.5 mile day. Tuesday we enjoyed a stopover at the Nantahola Outdoor Center, where we ate too much and had showers for the first time. Ben and Jerry's pints were 3.99 apiece, so we each purchased one. The 2,000 + mile climb out of the gap the next day was a little rough... But all in all we are doing well. For me(tyler) the hardest part of the last couple of days has been finding the 4,000 calories we burn each day, but we're getting better at this. Meeting tons of cool people on the trail and we've been extremely fortunate with sunny weather and cool (relatively...i suppose) nights.

Cheers,
Tyler and Rusty
