Today reminded me of Georgia, hiking all day in a steady, cold rain. I've been pushing pretty hard since I left Front Royal Wednesday last, and I am fetting tired. When Iwoke up this morning my feet still hurt, and even my legs were still tired and a bit sore. This morning I called the B&B in Boiling Springs and reserved a room for tomorrow night and Friday night. It will be good to get clean and dry, and relax for a bit.

I passed the half-way point on the trail this morning. As near as I could figure it, I was at the half-way point at 10:20 this morning. That is based on figuring the distance from the last place I knew the exact mileage, and my normal hiking pace. I took a picture of the mud puddle that apparently sits at the half-way point.

A few miles later there is a big sign at what was the half-way point at the time it was erected. When I got there it was pouring down rain so I just stopped for a moment to read the sign, then continued on. It was much too wet to pull the camera out and take a photo.
