Short Day and Afternoon in Franklin, N.C.

We are doing well and crossed the GA/NC state border yesterday.



The last 2.5 days have been hiking in the rain, and we've been making steady progress, so we decided to take a short afternoon and evening layover in Franklin, NC. Our longest day yet was yesterday, where we walked 21 miles under our umbrellas. We stayed dry and positive.

Ben's feet have a few hotspots, so it feels good to be dry for awhile. We're enjoying a night at the Haven's Motel Budget Inn, which caters to thru-hikers, and of course the shower, bed, and night out to a restaurant.
