Waking up here in my tent at Carter Gap, mile 90.7. It's my second night on the trail without Monica. I miss her. I have to get up very soon, before the forecast rains roll in. Notable mentions from the past two days:
>>The AT in Georgia brings to mind Southern hospitality, mint juleps, and gospel music. The first few miles of the AT in North Carolina brings to mind homicidal moonshiners maddened by day old whiskey.
>>I had never before yesterday encountered sleet. Sleet, meet John. John, meet sleet.
>>I also met a fellow Novo Collegian- Elmer from the class of '81. We chatted for a bit just past Bly Gap (the GA/NC state line)
