A flower I saw on the trail today.
Today was mostly an unspectacular day on the trail. I saw a few things and the above pictures show them. I hiked about 18 miles today to make it to Hot Springs, NC. I wanted to make it here for a decent dinner and a beer. They were both very good! After 30+ miles the last two days, they were both welcome.
I hiked today without too much thought about where I was hiking. I just hiked because I had Hot Springs as my goal. Tomorrow's goal is another hostel about 18 miles down the road, with my current plans being to reach Elk Park, NC the evening of 25 June. Of course, my birthday is in a couple of days and I have no idea how I'm going to celebrate. Fortunately, I'm not really worried about celebrating my birthday so much as I am interested in hiking the trail. The closer I get to Maine, the happier I am--though the more tired I am. It's not a bad thing, it is what it is, and I'm enjoying the people I meet and the time hiking.
I'll cut it short here, get some sleep and hit the trail again tomorrow.
Keep hiking!
