Thank you Bret and Chad Roberts for the accommodations in GA, the pleasure of giving the house full some epic haircuts, and also for the bad ass Coleman HWOD Hot Water On Demand shower, complete with shower tent. So awesome! I haven’t had a chance to actually try it though. Unfortunately, I had to order the collapsible water container that goes with it, and it would have been good to have the 12v power chord. I’m not sure, but I don’t think the power chord comes automatically with that model shower. Now that I have the water container though, I have to charge the battery and attach the propane. Hopefully, I can give you the full report on how that works here shortly.
The hike is on. I’m taking the van and heading to GA to hike, again, this weekend. I’m hoping to do a section that runs north into Fontana Dam (MILE 164.7) I also would like to hit the portion between Nantahala Outdoor Center (MILE 136.9) and the Wayah Bald(MILE 119.5) fire tower. The goal is 40-50 miles per 24 hours. Observe my handicaps. Make the miles count. I’m sure I will be adding to that itinerary.
Radar says my low/high for today in Murphy, NC (a random location close to where I’m hiking) is 56 degrees to 67. Saturday through Tuesday look relatively the same. Rain chance is pretty high for tomorrow, (50%) but easing up by Monday (23%). Definitely, going to be bringing some warmer gear to switch in and out of. Mid October can be sketchy as far as temperatures and I’m from Florida. (Currently 77 degrees)
