Last night was as cold as any I've had so far. I woke at 5 and couldn't sleep, but we'd set 7:30 as our departure time so I shivered in my sleeping bag until 6:30. Getting moving would have been the better choice.
Walking was good though my socks are starting to give me blisters. I have two pairs of Darn Toughs, and I love one but hate the other. I may look at replacing one when I get to Damascus. I may also buy more base layers and another pair of gloves: if I was this cold when temps were around 2 Celsius, I need a better solution for camping at 5,000' in the Smokey Mountains.
Still gettin' lots of smiles in though. We're all looking forward to brunch at The Barn tomorrow. I'm glad to have Blueberry Crisp around - he's on top of all the food options along the trail.
