It’s morning and everything is still soaked, dripping soaked. I’m less than 5 miles from Neels Gap, where I’m hoping their washing machine and dryer still work. The debate in my head at this hour is whether to put on all my soaked clothes in chilly weather and walk in to Neels Gap or go in in my dry clothes and hope it doesn’t rain.
Think I’m going to go in wet clothes. I’m positive the trail is soaked and there are probably plenty of puddles still. So, at minimum it doesn’t make sense to put on clean, dry socks, or anything clean and dry for that matter.
I just checked the radar and it says by 9AM the storms will be back, so…
P.S. Got bit by a tick the day before I got on trail. No rash, but it’s itchy and I’m concerned about how long it was on me for. Will have to deal with that when I get back.
