I made it to Hot Springs NC! About 265 miles roughly. I am staying here for a few days waiting for a resupply to arrive. There is a music festival going on here and a storm. Trees are falling down around us on the trail so I felt it was safer to wait out the storm. I’ve met some people here who follow me on YouTube.
Another hiker just arrived and said it’s snowing on the trail right now. It is cold at the base of the mountain so it must be freezing on the top.
Anyhow tomorrow through Thursday is supposed to be nice sunny weather.
I am having a great time hiking still. A little slower than others but making progress. Should be on time for trail days in Damascus VA May 19-21.
I have about 71 pictures for you currently. Internet is still not strong enough to upload videos.

Hard to believe such cool weather for May! Bet those hiking boots are broke in perfectly. Glad you did not risk the option of dodging tree debris. Did those FBD followers have the nice FBD sweatshirt I enjoy? It sure has come in handy. Stay healthy, feet dry and keep warm and live the adventure!

Doing well so far. The FBD followers did not have a shirt but they did make a video.

The road to Damascus, look forward to further revelations on the beauty of nature & nowadays its fragility. Your well prepared & provisioned AT perambulate is attempted by precious few, now to be enjoyed digitally by many. Beware of heat lightning & please, safety first.
