I am officially a backpacker at this point. We successfully hiked through Georgia and into North Carolina and finished over 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail!
Coming from two feet of snow and freezing temperatures meant that hiking in sunny, 70 degree weather was fantastic! On day two I was given the trail name of Ukalady. As you can probably guess, my debate about whether or not to bring a ukulele resulted in me bringing one. I have thoroughly enjoyed singing around camp fires at night and in a shelter on a rainy afternoon.
Here are a few highlights from the trail so far.

| Day 2- Gooch Mountain Shelter- hikers, tent, and bear cables in use. |
 |
| Day 4- Sunrise at Lance Creek |
 |
| Lunch on the top of Blood Mountain |
 |
| Day 5- getting out of the rain at Low Gap Shelter |
 |
| Hiking buddies |
 |
| Reorganizing and getting things done |
Our first zero day and gear and supplies are everywhere! Thank for putting us up and putting up with us! It was great to shower, restock, and of course eat lots of food. Off on the trail again tomorrow!
