AT Hiking

Jeremy and I went hiking on the AT this weekend. We did Unicoi Gap to Dick's Creek Gap which, with all of our side trips for water and to the overnight shelter, was about 17 miles. Saturday, we hiked 13 miles and stayed at Deep Gap shelter overnight, then we hiked 4 out to the road, where Matt picked us up. The boots did very well- it stormed overnight and kept raining Sunday, and my feet stayed nice and dry. I was happy that I'd brought some molefoam- the back of my legs felt bruised from where the boots were hitting the back of my legs, but I think they're pretty well broken in now. Angus was the most tired afterwards; he slept the whole 1.5 hour car ride back to the house, and is still pretty tired today.

17 miles! Wow! I am taking your experience to heart and trying to break in mine gradually. Glad you had a good time.
