Red Clay Gap, GA to Cloud 9 Hoste, Hiawassee, GA: Daily miles 20.1, Total miles 67.1
Got out early, had a big day. Hot and sunny – over 70 degrees. A few big climbs. Starting to get tired so I decided to head in and take some rest. Finished my miles at about 3 pm and caught the shuttle to a hostel. Paid 10 bucks for camping, but got a shower, laundry, and some company. Met Carol and Tree from TN. Talked to them most of the evening, really nice people. Ate a big dinner from the grocery store. Talked to my folks and Hannah and got my email. Found out Brian Beachy passed away this week which is really sad and a real loss. Got to bed about 10:30 and slept under the stars. Beautiful night.
