Today was rainy in a nice way. Light rain off and on (mostly this morning until it started up again like half an hour ago), with a couple heavier showers early this morning.

I hiked with Wandering and her dog Totoro, and the fog was soup-thick. No views, but the fog honestly looked really beautiful on its own. It did part for us once while we were taking a break and we got a pretty fantastic rolling mountain view. We got into camp around 1:30 or so, and some of us chatted and ate as more friends rolled in. Then I got into my tent and took a wonderful nap, gray dreary days like this are perfect for it. First nap of the trail!

My plan is to continue to keep this easy pace until after my second resupply in Hiawassee on Tuesday, then to step things up a bit.

Time to read until I fall asleep again, that nap ought to mean that I’ll make it through more than a few pages tonight.
