Recap of Georgia

Hey folks! 

Well be finishing up our time in Georgia pretty soon, so we wanted to give you all an update of our first week on trail. 

This is the top of Springer Mountain, the official start of the AT. 

Other than that... 

We've had a few rainy days, which has meant a lot of time inside the tiny tent. The tent has kept us dry and warm and we're super happy about it.

So far we've made a lot of friends. Everyone out here goes by trail names. Emily has been named Giggles, and Margaux's working name is Chuckles. 

The biggest frustration that we've met so far has not been the rain... We've been feeling like we have something to prove, being women out here. A lot of folks in camp haven't been taking us too seriously, but as soon as they learn that we're some of the most experienced folks out here, that changes a bit. 

All in all- we're happy! We're a little but sore from the recent increase in mileage, but we're having a lot of fun, making a lot of friends, staying dry (for the most part), and laughing frequently.
