Sassafras Shelter to Brown Shelter

We decided to take it easy today. We hike around 9 miles up and down mountains. We had to climb one section called Jacobs Ladder which was probably the worst part of today. It's almost a straight vertical climb for about a mile and a half! We were blessed with some trail magic today! This guy He Who brought us candy and Gatorade. He also was kind enough to drive us in and out of town for some McDonald's. I had McDonald's for the first time in at least 3 years and I'm fine with not having it ever again. It tasted fine but sat in my stomach like a bunch of rocks, Never again!
With love,
Mac and Sara
