Day 19

Mon. Sept. 15 Double Springs Shelter to Abingdon Gap Shelter 8 miles Weather: cloudy So after a smooth hike to the next shelter, I'm wondering why I should head into town. I mean its an easy 10 miles, but I kinda feel like it would be cutting my vacation short by a day. I have plenty of food so I think I'll just stay here and head down in the morning. I'm really wondering what section I want to do next. I'm gonna get a good pair of thermal underwear and a new pair of boots and hopefully I'll be ready for some nice fall hiking. We'll see how far I can go before it gets too cold. It's actually pretty chilly right now, but it is incredibly peaceful up here. The owls are kind of going nuts with their calls. I swear these are the weirdest sounds I've ever heard. I'm off to bed early. Night High: finished all my food Low: not feeling like I'm running on all cylinders
