Hogback Ridge, NC to Erwin, TN

April 21 & 22, 2008

Did a 10.2 mile day on the 21st with my bud Rain Fly, up and over the big bump of this stretch – Bald Mountain. It was another cold miserable day, but at least it didn’t rain. On April 22nd, the weather improved. We got blue sky in the morning and I decided to stretch my legs and make the fine 16.9 miles all the way into Erwin, Tennessee. I arrived at Uncle Johnny’s Hiker Hostel at 5:30 p.m.- Just enough time for a quick show and still got on the 6:00 p.m. shuttle to dinner at the Mexican restaurant in town. The perfect end to a hard day’s hike.
