March 11: Justus Creek, GA

Mile 13.8. Great first day. Georgia is beautiful! Pack feels great, legs feel good, gear all seems to be working great. Today we tried our plan to stop midday, cook our big meal, take a nap, then hike some more. We both loved it -felt refreshed in the afternoon and liked not having to cook after setting up camp -just ate leftovers and snacks. Did backrubs, too, which I loved. Hope we keep that tradition up.
