Day 2: 7.9 miles – Springer Mountain Shelter to Hawk Mountain Shelter

Mile marker: 8.1 Miles today: 7.9

That morning was cold. It took me a while to pack up & leave camp. I left around 9h30 in the morning.

It was a nice and easy during the first part of the day. The day finished with a nice uphill. Before the uphill started, I came across a beautiful stream. I took a nice break at this spot.

A fire was made at the shelter. People collected around it, and introduced each other & talked. Also, military exercises where being made close by, we could see the helicopter.

That night I decided to tape my right big toe because I was feeling a hot spot on it…I taped it for blister prevention. Bed time came around 9h30.
