Day 8
Another rest day today; only 4 miles. After consecutive 13-mile days, it feels good to eat real food and rest my blistered feet.
The BLT sandwich with avocado at the Pine Grove General Store was the best sandwich I’ve had in years. (Hiking 30 miles in 3 days with dehydrated foods and trail mix for meals might have something to do with that rating.)
My trail friends are ahead of me right now, but I’ve found that new friends are always available on the Trail. It’s a welcoming community, with many volunteers keeping the trail going and ready to offer help for hikers. Today I had one guy give me a banana and a couple give me a sandwich.
Will probably gain weight after this rest stop.
By the way, the blisters are from the 75 miles of rocks I’ve walked on (out of 85 total walked so far).
Hiked four of these the same day!
