With the rain and cold forecasted for Thursday, Laura and I hightailed it to Dicks Creek Gap to catch a ride to Hiawassee where we booked a room for 2 nights. The 13 mile hike wore us out but we made it and are looking forward to a day of rest.
I felt sick since 12:30am and didn't get much sleep. I pushed myself through a severe stomach ache. At about noon, a nice lady from Wisconsin gave me 2 electrolyte tablets. I drank about a liter and a half of electrolytes. In about an hour I was feeling back to normal. It was truly miraculous. I will ALWAYS carry some sort of electrolytes with me from now on.
It was still cold and windy today. The forecast for tomorrow is rain and cold. After that the weather geeks are saying highs near 70 and lows near 40. Surely they can get it right this time. Laura and I are way over the cold already.
Some of our trail buddies are here at the hotel waiting out the storm, too. It was nice to see them.
