I've stopped being able to tell what day it is. 3 days ago I
made it to the GA/NC state line. As a way to circumvent 30 some odd miles,
Craftsman and I decided to take a disused forest service road around and up a
mountain. His topo maps made it look like a 10 miles hike from mile 78 to 93.2.
Long story short we followed some roads for 2 days before realizing we were
going the exact wrong way, as well as running out of water. We went 2 1/2 days
(and 2 nights of cowboy camping) to end up 5 miles on the trail from where we
started. He went on to try to hitch to Franklin NC while I took a zero day here
at Plumorchard Shelter. 3 blisters and plenty of cuts and bruises made me zero
here. Thank god I did cause the night I got here it poured rain. However at the
end of my zero I feel good. I'll either go 8 or 11ish miles depending on the
rain. Sadly, gotta re- hike out of GA now though. Read 4 or 5 people's tarot,
too. Living up to the name Magicman.
