It is Sunday morning and I think we have waited out the worst of the rain and weather until this coming Thursday or Friday. My pack is full again with 6 days worth of food and supplies. I have about 45 plus pounds in it I am sure. We will be hiking until Franklin, NC!!! Two days and we will cross the state border!! One down 13 to go:-) The other hikers did finally give me a trail name. I will now be known as the Toothfairy!! Everyone kept commenting on how nice and bright my teeth and smile was and they came up with that. One of the guys keeps calling me Toothy of Toothache, whatever works I guess.
I just have to say that my time in Hiawassee has been a good one. All the different types of food and drink down south is wonderful. I was introduced to the southern sweet tea!!! Lord have mercy is it beyond great! I also say in the grocery store, ketchup flavored potato chips, baby back rib flavored chips, banana bread pudding ice cream, and so much other interesting items I should have wrote down. At the buffet in town I even had warm pears on ice cream, collard or turnip greens, and strawberry cobbler. Yesterday afternoon we went to the local BBQ place and Jumper Cables and I ordered a one pound burger a piece. It was filled with cheese, bacon, and I dosed it in all their flavors of sauce. Yum. Then we took a nap. Well we are off for another 6 days of fun and wet and pain!!! I can't wait.

Hello Toothfairy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trail name for you! Every time I think about it I will smile. Again thank you for the update. I think about you more than I can say as you tromp on through the wilderness having such great adventures and meeting so many new folks. Wouldn't ya know it but food remains one of the greatest evils; such goodies! My youngest son has been in Tennessee this week (Dollywood) on a band trip so needless to say my heart has been in the south a lot. We are expecting snow/sleet/cold this week. I do hope your rain (if any) is at least warm. You indeed warm my heart! Onward HO! LOL Vicki

ReplyDeleteHi Toothfairy!
ReplyDeleteVery good name for you and your great smile. Hope you are well into NC by the time your read this. Sounds like there may be a bit of rain this week also - looking forward to seeing some pictures - it sounds really beautiful. Still would like to come and join you for a weekend, what's the flatest part of the trail??? Take care and don't give up, you're realizing a dream for more than yourself.
