Since we left Blueberry Patch, quite a bit has happened. That day we crossed into NC :) Then a couple days after we reached our 100 mile mark!! Our celebration was all sitting down together catching our breath from the rough Albert Mtn climb and of course eating. The next day we planned to resupply in Franklin but it was 10 miles to town... so we tried hitchhiking for the first time. Luckily, a guy waved us over and told us he'd give us a ride. We found out he had just been hiking the trail himself but tore his achilles so is now providing trail magic for hikers. We resupplied at Big Lots and when we were outside packing up he saw us again and brought us back to the trail. By noon we were hiking again and did 10 more miles, catching up with Squirrel n Zima that night. Today we have run into a whole new crew of people, since most people we were hiking with stayed in town. Tonight will mark 131 miles for us and since tomorrow is our 2 week mark we will celebrate by hiking 12 miles :) A side note: One of our best friends, Charlie the dog aka Garbage Farts and his owner have left the trail :( We will miss you dearly.
