Left my precious ‘zero’ day in Helen GA and got a ride back to Unicoi Gap. The person who gave me a ride said that Helen, Georgia is drinking town with a Bavarian problem. It sure looked like it.
I had a great day today physically: I averaged 2 mph going up and down Rocky Mountain, Tray mountain, Sassafras Mountain and Kelly Knob Mountain to get to where I am. The only problem I had was that my calves needed to be massaged a few times. There were some great views at the tops of these mountains and when I got to Deep Gap Shelter I was happy with the day overall. Someone at the fire tonight had one of those muscle rolling sticks and I used it vigorously. Met a bunch more great people today and looking forward to tomorrow.
P.S. (That’s my tent in the foreground- I was the first one here but it filled up as people straggled in.)

What a trip you’re on! I’m enjoying the characters you’ve encountered thus far, as well as the peaks and pains of your own personal journey. Right now I’m thinking The Grateful Dead meets Paul Simon. Love the prose. Is there any room for poetry in that 42 pound backpack? I say ‘ Hell yes!’ Keep on truckin’ my friend.
