Day 34: Slackpacking Part 2

13.4 miles: Sams gap to Spivey Gap

Today we planned on 24 miles but we got a late start and hiked casually throughout the day. Miss Janet offered to Slackpack us from SAMs gap to Erwin and we could stay with her again. My parents were picking us up that day so I couldn't stay; but Tric, Jersey Girl, and Yukon were happy to hear of this opportunity. When we arrived at SAMs gap it was about 10am. My dad and mom and dog were set up under the overpass and were doing some really awesome trail magic! They had beer, junk food, fresh food, were cooking hot dogs and hamburgers and having a great time. All the hikers were very excited and grateful for it. After staying for a bit we set off on our 24 miles. We went up and over Big Bald and down the other side to Spivey Gap. By this time it was a little late and only 13 miles in. My arents wer ready to go so we called them and had them pick us up at Spivey Gap. We dropped off the rest of the crew at Miss Janet's where we made plans for me to catch them in the coming days.
