AT Days 57-62

Day 57 Chestnut Knob Shelter to Helveys Mill Shelter (Mile 593.9)

I got up early to do a 24 mile day, and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise view.

We found some trail magic again today! People had set up to serve hot dogs and hamburgers to hikers!

Day 58 Helveys Mill Shelter to Dismal Creek Falls (Mile 612.0)

I crossed the 600 mile mark!

I camped with my friends, Lights, 2Dogs and Detroit by a waterfall. There wasn’t much room for tenting, but we made it work.

Day 61 Cross Ave to Rice Field Shelter (Mile 643.7)

Back on the trail after a night in town.

We had an amazing sunset view from our shelter site.

We celebrated a birthday on trail today, but still managed to hike 16.5 miles!

We were entertained by an amazing performance from Spankey the clown!
