On the Appalachian Trail we met " Just an Echo "... Many times in life you (we) are destined to meet certain people, this was such a case on the AT this week... Well we can say that the great outdoors offers many unexpected things.... So it was as we did part of the Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail (AT) this week.... Our schedule was to do about thirty some miles of the Georgia section of the AT, in under four days, or all most 10 miles a day... One of my brothers who just happened to live about twenty miles from the southern terminus of the AT, dropped us off at Woody gap trail crossing, at 16:30 on Wensday... There was some light rain, but not any real threats, so we pressed on... We made the camp site by 18:30, got the tent up, made a fire and found the water source... They had a nice timber bridge over the creek, not sure why, unless there was some other trail head beond... We ate our MREs and enjoyed some fellowship, and the first nite on the AT... The there was a Brat Boot Camp down from us but they were not too rambunctious, so everything went well... Got up and packed up heading up to Gooch Mt shelter for lunch... The MREs were OK, and since they had the reheat packs we did not have to cook over the open fire... Just use the fire for light and to boil water, for tea... We will discuss a 70 year old Trail Guru; know by his handle: "Just an Echo", on our next posting.... Check some of the details on "Southern Etiquette" blog, today... Will pick this up tomorrow... see ya.. The best is yet to come, stay tuned... Add This Entry To Your CureZone Favorites! Print this pageEmail this page  Alert Webmaster
