Wednesday 1 April 2008 - Brown Fork Gap Shelter

Very tough day today that started with me finding my boots full to the brim with water thanks to a leaky roof at the hostel I stayed at last night. Hiked up some huge hills and probably pushed myself a bit too hard - felt very sick and dehydrated towards the end of the day. In my tent now (albeit on a hill) and have done another poor bear bagging job, but am too tired to worry. Shorter day tomorrow (11 miles) into Fontana Dam and then into the Smokies.

P.S. I think I have a trail name (and an unofficial knighthood) as everyone has begun to call me Sir Richard.
