Appalachian Trail Day 3 - Catch Me If You Can

What a day! Everyone talks about getting your trail legs weeks and months into hiking but dang it I was born with em! Slept great on cowrock and got my earliest start. Pooped out in the woods for my first time and that was something! Sunrise was great to myself and then descended into what was going to be a kick butt day. It was a day full of wildlife, snakes, bugs, critters, I was soaking it all in, as well as my favorite feature so far, fern filled floors. They are the most gorgeous. Met up with Patrick and Richard from Texas and then kept movin! Received my first trail magic at unicoi gap from chill Billy a shuttle driver who gave me an orange. Then packed it on up to tray mountain! Wanted to hit a marathon but fell short at sunset, wanting to get a great view for sunrise. Parked the tent on top of the mountain and went to hang at the shelter where I met some real ones! Two guys from Ohio, Tom, Socks (John), and two English kids, David and Charlie. Had some good talks and went to bed! Everyone thinks I’m a legend out here for just hiking all day long. Feels like I was born for this!
