Trail Journal: 04.03.02

Morning at Amicola [sic] Falls State Park where the approach trail to the AT begins. It's quiet in the campground but people are beginning to stir. We finally made it her and will start the AT hike in an hour or so. At Last!

Evening: Made it to Springer Mountain shelter in about 5 hours. Good walking on good trai--about 7.5 miles. The sign said the hike was strenuous but I thought it wasn't too bad. Woods are still in winter mode but flowers are pushing up in many places and we can see lots of buds on the trees. Also saw lots of people--put' near ever'body and their dog. Surprisingly, we were the first to the shelter so we claimed it for ourselves. So far we are the only ones in the shelter, although about 6 to 8 people in tents nearby.
