After we eat, then we have a big climb. We are trying to go a little faster, as we have seen a few weekend groups on the trail and we want to ensure ourselves a spot at the campsite. As it is, we are the first ones to arrive. A little buggy tonite, glad to be in the tent.
July 27: Sub & I leave the campsite at 7:30, Road Runner having his coffee, he will catch us later. This morning, we go 3 miles to visit "the cookie lady". She lives right off the trail and has blueberry bushes, ice cream & soda for sale, and often plates of homemade cookies for hikers. We arrive moments after they open in the morning, another hiker is tenting on their yard. Though the cookie lady is not around this morning, her husband, the cookie guy is. We grabbed a bucket and picked 2 pounds of blueberries, then bought a soda and ice cream each. The next miles are flat and fast- we go over some boardwalks and on some forest paths. Then down a long winding descent into Dalton. The trail goes through town and we stop at a sub shop where we join Road Runner for subs.
