We woke up to another cold morning of around 32. It stayed cold most of the day with wind. The forecast was for warmer and sunnier weather. That did not turn out to be true. Now it looks like a rain system is coming our way. Laura and I had planned to come off the trail on Thursday for a food restock but we will now move that up a day and get into town on Wednesday night and into a hotel to wait out the storm. My goal is to hike the AT, not survive it, so we're going to stay as comfortable as we can within reason.
We hiked 13.2 miles today, longer than we expected. We planned to camp on a mountaintop but with the cold and wind we decided to press on to the next campsite. We also anticipated the bad weather coming and positioned ourselves to get into town early.
HURRY UP, SPRING! Dang!
