| This was our 1st time backpacking. It felt way longer than a 2 mile hike. Especially since we were each carrying 30 lb bags. It was definately worth the long hike and the 1 wrong turn we made to the shelter. We loved it here and look forward to coming back. | |||||||

| It has only taken us two years to make it this far since starting at the Flagg Mountain Shelter. Many a cold, windy night was spent in the woods, with lions and tigers (mice and possums) trying to eat us (███ bugs). Yet we press onward toward Georgia and a boring road walk. Rain is coming so we best get moving. 11am | |||||||

| The mountain came, the mountain men conquered. Flatlanders just don't get it. Lost a hat, shoe, and bottle. | |||||||
| Editor's Note: Let's hope it was three separate items, and not a combination, Swiss Army type device. My hiking shoes belong nowhere near my nose, and I certainly would not want to drink from them. | |||||||
| 26 | November | 2019 | 2 Hikers | Ocho & Sweeper | Many | Pinhoti Trail | |
| Started at Trammel Trailhead and will finish tomorrow at Highway 431. This completes the Alabama Portion of the Pinhoti for Ocho (12 years old). We took a little time and rebuilt the rock cairn and the fire ring. We have stayed here before and love this shelter.☺ | |||||||

I zero's here yesterday. It rained alllll day long and is still drizzling. If I can finish the Pinhoti by Christmas like I wanted to, it will mean 28 mile days from here on out. And since I am leaving at lunch right now, let's say it would be a Christmas Miracle. Met some real nice folks here yesterday. ONWARD TO FLORIDA |
