Gettin some rest in Hiawassee

So we hitched into Hiawassee today. We didn't pan on stopping here but after a few days on the trail we've learned a lot and we're making a big change in strategy. If we're gonna do this we need to lighten our packs by resupplying more. I shipped some stuff home today and I know Dan threw out a lot of stuff too. Some people would prolly call me crazy for not carrying some of the stuff but I'm wanna do everything I can to get to Maine. We're lookin forward to gettin back to the trail with lighter packs! No hostels here in Hiawassee but we're splittin a hotel with a really cool thru-hiker from Texas we met. His trail name is Two Lions (He looks like one and he carries a stuffed animal lion with him lol). Lots of other cool people out here on the trail. Its crazy how an overwhelming majority of the people out in the woods are really cool. We're takin our first zero day tomorrow to give our bodies some rest. This hotel is pretty nice and everything but honestly, I'd personally rather be in the woods I think. It's a little too intense for me lol. All in all we're livin the dream out her on the AT (my dream anyway as Dan would tell me lol)Well there are other hikers waiting for the computer and we have an "all you can eat" buffet watin for us but we'll try to fill you in again as soon as possible. Take care everyone, we miss you.
