Day 5-6

Day 5 7-miles
Low Gap-Blue mt shelter
We broke camp really early to hopefully outrun the impending thunderstorms. We made it to our destination by 10 and ended up sitting around all day to rest. It was super windy because the shelter was on a high-ridge line. We made some great friends. Overall it was a super easy day of rest and we will be spending our first night in a shelter. 

Day 6 8-miles
Blue mt-tray mt shelter 
This morning was witnessed a beautiful sunrise from our ridge line shelter villa. It was our coldest night yet so we wasted no time breaking camp and heading down to our first town adventure. We made it to hiawasse, GA in no time since Dawn is so cute and nobody can turn her down. We went to ingles super market and it was AWESOME!!! They had clean bathrooms with running water, a place to sit down, and a deli with a $5 lunch special. We got a 2.5 day food resupply, and I bought some super charged deodorant so Dawn won't mind hugging me. Now we are in camp just hanging out. It's way less humid so we are letting all our stuff get really dry. We heard there might be storms tomorrow night so we might hike hard to a hostel 14-miles away and avoid the rain. Life on the AT is treating us really well. Besides some sore knees we are moving along injury free.
