Wow, am I wracking up the miles! Ha! Well, rains made the decision to head to Hiawassee for the night very easy.
Mice did a little damage last night. Stephan found nibble marks on his pack towel. Sticks discovered chew marks on his bearbag - which he hung from the cables - and was elated to find his beef jerky intact.
Today's hike ended at Dick's Creek at the highway. I lost a bet to Stephan about hitch-hiking. He bet that we would have a ride within 30 seconds and I didn't believe him. Wouldn't you know it; a van pulled up within 30 seconds and a bunch of hikers piled out - some folks I knew too, including Real World and ARGO. Ron the driver was from the Hiawasee Inn - real nice guy. We decided to stay there for the night and take in the sights of Hiawassee.
