Spoke with Will today via phone! He said they got in around 10 miles today. They are close enough to civilization to go into town. Will and 5 others have rented a hotel for the evening. Everyone chipped in for $12 a piece. He said he was looking forward to an all you can eat Chinese Buffet. Will said the weather has been rough. He said it seemed as if they were in a weather cloud since yesterday. The temps have dropped and it is snowing. A good time to get a room! Their current location is Hiwassee, Ga. I am worried these boys are going to gain weight over these next few months. I guess there will be sections where food is not as plentiful.
When I asked Will if he was taking enough pictures to share with us he said "yea, but not of scenery.......I am taking pictures of the culture of the trail....the people......that's what I find most interesting." I can't wait to see!
Walk on Guys!
2 to 3 days into the hike, Will lightened his pack by about 10 lbs. Those 10lbs showed up on our door step this afternoon thanks to UPS. I am sure the driver was glad to get that off his truck! (Smelly!)
