Ready to roll
We made a quick stop to get registered and pick up our 2023 hiker tags. Tomorrow we drop off the rental car and take a shuttle to Amicolola Falls. We will spend the night there in a cabin then hit the trail Sunday.
Day 51 June 6 -Ottie Cline Powell
Day 51 June 6 Days miles 15.1 AT Mile 802.3 Stayed at Inn Hiking time 6hr Pass plus/minus: +6 Critter Rescue - 2 Total Deer seen - 2 today, 23 total Today Jen and I slackpacked which is hiking without all your gear, all we carried was water, snacks and rain gear, so super light. We see a lot of hikers doing this and we figured why not try it. Doing this we had to hike alone in opposite directions, I left her at the northern end to hike south and I drove to the last place we stopped on the trail yesterday and hiked north. When she gets to the car she comes and picks me up. Was a pretty standard day for me hiking, it was more about seeing how my back felt hiking without weight on it. Jen did get to see the dog Huckleberry and his human HH which was exciting for her. We both saw the memorial for the 4 year old boy who died on a mountain back in 1891, memorial is here. You can hear about this story in an episode of The Green Tunnel podcast. ...
