Food package did not arrive on time at Hampton, TN!!!
9am
Oh boy!!!!!! Hope the package is here or I got to buy food and start hike today! I already took zero mile yesterday! Can't stay and wait longer
9.20am
Yeah- that's why I told mom to send all packages at once. At greasy creek hostel, I was lucky enough to have the package on time. They told me it just arrived the same day I arrived. Same thing with roan mt hostel. They were all because I took my time. I could have done more miles and shorten the days. So when I ask to mail them all once, do it. We will never know how much miles and how fast I go on each day.
11am
Already bought food- total is $15 including yolo's food
5.07pm
I'm at the (Watauga)lake shelter(Mile 424). Will do 22 miles tomorrow and 10ish miles during full moon then the rest to damascus in the morning! Should be at Damascus by thursday (Mile 464).


Pictures from the beginning of the hike at Springer Mt. are now also on Picasa. Let me know if you need the link.
