Mike got to Neels Gap today and will be staying at the hostel there, I got it wrong yesterday, he only got to Woody Gap last night. He's getting fond of thes hostels after a long day's hike but it also makes the trail experience less authentic for him. It was cold hiking today 40's to 50's but mostly clear skies.
Mike got a Sony Reader for the trail before he left. It's an e-book reader that can store 100's of electronic books that he downloads for free from the library. In past hikes he carried paperbacks. The Sony Reader is lighter (even with the integrated light) and gives him a greater variety of reading material.
He picked up a box of food he'd shipped forward to Neels Gap and now has extra meals to carry forward, since he's been eating order-in food at the hostels. Now, a meal on the trail consists of a box of mac and cheese or chicken noodle soup so it's not a lot.
I'm not going to guess at what tomorrow will bring in his hike - we'll just have to wait and see.
