I started at my hiking at 6:00 this morning. It was nice and cool. After i finished breakfast i started hiking and immediately found the straight up climb to very difficult but enjoyable. I started up and up and up and up, for 8.8 miles straight up. very tiring. i saw one view on the way up, it was nice, mountains as far as the eye can see, and for me thats far.
I also saw Amicola falls which was refreshing, it bounced in every direction, falling to the ground in little diamond droplets. I saw a tree that had holes in that made a funny face and a creek at which i stopped at to wash my face with the cloth I am carrying. It was very cool and refreshing.
I continued my hiking and saw butterflies fighting, deer, and bugs..a lot of bugs, a great many bugs. So many bugs i wanted to take a flame-thrower and burn them all. I kept going and going up and up...I continued up until i arrived at the A.T. beginning. I decided to use the shelter that was .2 miles into the A.T. and will rest for tomorrow's journey. I ate stew for dinner on my grill and then hunkered down for a while. Then i looked at the stars for a while. Then went to bed.
