Everything is in walking distance…if you have the time.

We have hiked 40.1 miles (31.1 on the AT) and had our first meal and bed in town last night. Hiking a short bit today as we take care of some bookkeeping chores this morning. On our first day, we met a man out for a day hike on the approach trail who passed along the wisdom “everything is in walking distance if you have the time”. It has stuck with me since. You could amend that to say if you MAKE the time! Now for a lunch picture:

Lunch on the AT somewhere around Woody Gap. So far the vistas have been spectacular but a bit chilly to sit and enjoy a meal.
