Day 9: 3.6 miles – Deep Gap Shelter to Dick’s Creek Gap

Mile marker: 69.4 Miles today: 3.6

Not a big hiking of day. I had a bed at the Around the Bend hostel for that night.

When I woke up, it was still pretty foggy & some rain here in there.

Wearing my sleeping clothes to hike in town, my hiking clothes were still wet!

I left the shelter by 8h30 & got to Dick’s Creek at 10. Just in time for the city shuttle to get me to the hostel.

This was me first “Nero day” (not hiking a full day & spending a partial day off). I got to do my laundry, resupply & go to the local brewery in Hiawassee.

I also did my first two hitch…but I was not alone 😀 we were 4 in all.
