I had a fabulous day today.

| Relaxing on the porch swing before checking in. |
I hiked 5 miles to the Len Foote Hike Inn. My hike took me 5 hours. I took breaks when I felt like it and visited with many day hikers. The weather was lovely. It was spring like and sunny. I couldn’t ask for nicer weather. It is an amazing start to the Appalachian Approach Trail.

| Day hiker that I chatted with. He said I was the first thru-hiker he met this season. I’m number 138 so there are quite a few ahead of me. There is usually a couple of thousand people who attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail. The hiker bubble will start around the 22nd. There are a lot of hikers signed up for a start date of 02-22-2022. |

| Another water crossing |
 |
| Amitha was a day hiker from Atlanta. I met her on the way up the mountain and when she came down. We hiked together for a little while. Needless to say, she slowed her pace. |
 |
| I saw this sign in three separate places. It was funny because it’s in the middle of the trail. No one could get to the trail, but hikers. |
