Stopped into town today to resupply, have been eating a lot the couple of days so I'm caring a few extra pounds the next days. The Smokies have been great so far. Amazing views from the mountain peaks. The park itself is just beautiful and so amazing. One in a life time experience. Overall I am doing great, hit the 200 mile mark yesterday as well the high point on the trail at 6643 ft.
If anyone wants to send a care package let me know and I can tell you where to send it.
Hope all is well with everyone.

So long Georgia
Crossed the GA/NC border yesterday, was pretty exciting. I will try and upload a photo later. I am doing well and am averaging 14 miles a day or so. Will be hitting the hundred mile mark tomorrow and planning to do my 1st 20 mile day. Somethings I've learn after sweep of hiking:
1. Georgia is a B*tch, up and down.
2. I have too much food for the 1st few days.
3. My pack is the heaviest in the morning.
4. Hitch hiking a ride to town wasn't that bad.
So far 0 bears and 0 snakes.
Oh and I changed my trail name to Red Moose.
