Yup, temperatures are rising now and so is the BO. We are starting to get used to our odors and they seem to help somewhat with keeping bugs off us (in conjunction with our permitherin treated clothes of course). Today was a pretty uneventful day especially since our food bag was still where we left it last night (definitely buying a new rope at Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) since the pieces we have left look to be somewhat weakened). Continued our streak of finding good places to stay at night with another streamside campsite at Bettys Creek Gap. Should be a good early night so we can get over Albert Mtn tomorrow before the thunderstorms roll in. Section and day hikers are very useful for things like updated weather reports and some spare food once in a while. Making a run tomorrow for Winding Stair Gap so we have an option to get into Franklin, NC if the weather gets too bad, although we are attempting to skip this town and get a nice room at the Wesser Cottages near NOC in 3.5 days. I know there are some NC residents who are keeping track of us here, feel free to send an email to sandmhiking@gmail.com if we come close to where you are and want to come meet up with us (bring Hostess cupcakes and beer for me and cinnamon toast crunch for Princess).
To anyone who is leaving comments for us here, we are not ignoring you we haven't been in a place where we have real internet access yet to take a look at them and reply to any. Hopefully in 3.5 days we will have a chance to get to them.
Untill the next post...
