Low Gap Shelter to Cheese factory site
13.4 miles, 56.6 miles total
Today was the longest day yet. The first 7 miles were quite easy. It was the next 6 miles that kicked my butt. It was 1 mile uphill, 1.5 mile downhill, 1.4 mile uphill, 1.3 mile downhill, and finally 0.7 mile uphill. It was exhausting.
Tonight we are staying at the cheese factory site. Apparently there was a cheese factory here in the 1800's or something. It's a great campsite. Lots of tenting spots, easy access to water, fire pits, etc. Staying in the area tonight is Paul, Harry, Rider, Sarah, Alana, and a new guy, Wicca Witch. He helped us get a big fire going since it's supposed to be down to near freezing again.
Also, my feet are starting to get quite a few blisters. I'm taking good care of my feet, but they do still hurt at the end of the day. Maybe a zero/nero (near zero) day in Hiawassee will help.
