Somewhere on the the AT #4

l took full zero in Franklin just to avoid some really cold nights on the trail. Ended up doing a short day coming back from town to taking another zero in my tent to avoid getting soaked and cold from the rain the day after I got back out.

Though waiting out the rain gave me a good day to climb my second bald since leaving Franklin. From Franklin to Nantahala Outdoor Center there are three balds, Siler, Wayah, and Wesser. Coming down Wesser Bald was a pain in the feet and the knees.

When I was done with my 10.7 mile day everything that was knees on down was done. Yup did Wesser Blad the steep decline on my biggest day ever. I feel proud that I pushed my self but I and still little sore the next day.
