Day 7 - 100 miles!

May 22 - Beech Gap to Franklin, NC - 19.1 miles

"The core of man's existence comes from new experiences" - Christopher McCandless


Arrived in Franklin, NC today after a fairly easy 19-miler. Today was a big day for us - we reached the 100 mile mark! Woohoo! Our total mileage thus far is 107.7, with one state down (Georgia) and 13 to go.

We met two older gentlemen on the trail (Pathfinder and Hafphast) who offered to give us a ride in to town, which we gladly accepted. They also gave us their contact information for when we hit Pennsylvania. I'm not sure if it's just Southern hospitality or the generosity towards thru-hikers but everyone we have met has been extremely helpful.
