Folks,

Greeting from Hiawassee Georgia

This is about 66 miles on the trailplus about 11 miles of off trail hiking.

I am averaging about 13 miles a day, which is ahead of schedule.

I am taking a day off.

They say that this is the hottest weather in the spring in years.

Only ten more miles or so and I will be out of Georgia.

Things are going well, except for my usual loss of appetite.Being by myself, the lack of eating is even more exaggerated.

However all is not lost. there is an AYCE ( all you can eat )restaurant, and I plan to visit it several times.

Even though 66 miles seems like a lot, it is less than 3% of the trail.
