Day 8: Sunday, March 8

Today was a gorgeous, warm, bright sunny day here in Georgia. We all got a lot of sun and a little sun burn. It was hot and sweaty while we were hiking, but its certainly a lot better than the freezing temperatures we were dealing with just a few days ago. We hiked about 12 miles today. Due to daylight savings time and more light later in the evening, we were able to take a luxurious 2 hour lunch break. We have been hanging out with 2 guys and a girl we met on the trail: Indiana Jones, Memphis, and Evergreen. They all came out separately, but have been getting to know each other on the trail because they all hike around the same pace. Tonight, we hung out around the campfire with those three and Left Toe. A little later on, another hiker named Growler came to join us. We enjoyed the evening telling riddles. Now its time to go to sleep. Goodnight.
