Day 143 (November 13)

We had a short hike today -- 13.4 miles -- but it was a tough uphill. Finished at the Nantahala River and have a wonderful bunk house to sleep in tonight. Nine days to the finish from here. We went over a nice bald today, but it was a little gloomy with the sun. The bald and a typical water source on the trail. 

Big climbs tomorrow. Looking to do 22 miles and finish at a hostel. Take care.
