A few things learned

Being in town has been great, but hybrid and I are ready to hit the trail again in a couple hours. Our "day off" was spent eating, shopping, resupplying, eating, hanging out with other hikers, and more eating. Oh, and some beers, of course.

So far on the trail, I have learned something or another pretty much everyday out here. Here are some takeaways I have so far:
-Tent setup- it's one thing to know how to set it up, it's another to know how to do it correctly and quickly.

-Dont hang your bear bag at night- hybrid and I made this mistake one night and while sloshing around in the trees, setting up our bear bag, we looked down and realized we were hanging out in a poison ivy patch...we went unscathed tho!

-The AT hiking community is completely unique to any community I have ever experienced- first off, the people we have met on this trip have been nothing short of awesome. The hikers we run into are all people we would like to hang out with in our everyday lives, but the AT has brought us together. It's very interesting to see how these people come in and out of your life sort of like a wave based on your hiking pace. Hard to explain but we really have liked this community so far and are meeting really cool people every day.

-crappppppp - we are about to get slammed




But the overall theme is we are really learning a lot out here and loving every minute. Thanks for reading and keep the comments coming. We really love em!
