Day 10: The Return of the Rain

15.3 miles: Bly Gap to Carter Gap Shelter



Biggest day yet. And I feel good.
Today was a good day for hiking. It was cloudy but not raining. But after about 9 miles the rain started. 

This tree right by the border of ga/nc is famous amongst hikers. It's even listed in the guide book.

"The green tunnel"



A rocky downhill section of trail.


And then we summitted Standing Indian Mountain! Our highest yet at 5,498 ft!




First flowers of the season on top of Standing Indian!

At carter gap shelter there are about 30 people. All wanting to go into Franklin tomorrow. Which is 15 miles away. My plan is to camp just before the gap into Franklin and go in the day after, on Tuesday.
