Almost Time to Hike!

Today was fun. We drove out from Asheville to Atlanta. Along the way, we stopped at the NOC, picked up our hiker tags at Amicalola Falls and listened to the LNT talk, checked into the Embassy Suites, returned our rental car, rode the MARTA, participated in Happy Hour at the hotel, and walked across a busy intersection to eat at La Madeleine for supper. A full day, for sure!

Tomorrow morning, our shuttle driver will pick us up to take us back to Amicalola to start our hike. Whew!

We are ready!

Listening to the LNT talk, the guy was advocating for the plan we have already decided is ours! We should have been awarded gold stars right then and there!

Not anything left to do tonight but take another shower, repack backpacks, and get some sleep. Somebody thought it’d be a great idea to eat chocolate cake last night. It was vegan chocolate cake, after all, so why not?!?! Well, chocolate late in the day leads to sleeplessness, in our family. Not a great last night in Asheville. Tonight is a new night. No chocolate in sight! Hoping for blissful dreams and good hiking weather tomorrow!

We are hikers #1489 and 1490!
