It's resupply day! Always nice to walk with a light pack. We headed into Erwin planning to stop at a hostel and shower, do laundry, and pick up food.
Flatlander has been searching for something called an Icee since, apparently, Pennsylvania. Today we passed by a Shell station and on a lark decided to pop in and see if they had one. Despite all the amazing views and experiences, I'm pretty sure the Icee machine is Flatlander's highlight for our walking together. To be fair, I had a Cherry Dr. Pepper Icee, and it really was worth the excitement.
If I'm honest though, the cold and fires are starting to make me think it's time to go home. I've been considering ending the trip in Hot Springs. The Smokies are going to be cold, and apparently smoke covered. The next section is on fire. It's beginning to feel a bit pointless to do the rest of the trail. Tonight's night hike up a mountain didn't help. We'll see what morning brings.
Start: ??
End: some shelter somewhere
