Received the first phone call from the G-Town Colonel last night. He sounds very good despite getting lost the first day, being snowed on the second day, and freezing his toes off each evening. He said the first section was very physically demanding, but made his first check point goal: Hiawassee, GA by hitching a ride into town with a couple of section hikers. Cost for the ride: Dinner at Huddle House and some gas money.
The G-Town Colonel stayed in a hikers lodge last night and will get his first re-supply package at the Post Office this morning. Then, he will head north to Franklin, NC and onto Bryson City, NC which is his next scheduled re-supply stop. He has promised some journal entries soon. (We are going to be dependent on the US Mail service for news)
He met some very interesting folks along the way and saw some beautiful scenery. We will have to wait for his journal for the details.
