FIRST SOLO BACKPACKING TRIP / Foggy but Beautiful Day 2 on the AT

[@tommyh.8391]

Rae! Fog City. Nasty 2 day start. Once, after the first step of the first hour of the first day of a 3 day hike up the Conasauga River, I slipped and fell into said river and me and everything in my pack got wet. It was a foggy fall day and none of my stuff ever really dried out. Fortunately, I had a synthetic sleeping bag. Since then I’ve always used a hiking stick, especially because of river crossings. The curious chipmunk was funny. 😁

@@tommyh.8391 that sounds terrible, I’m sorry to hear about that! Would probably make me want to go back to my car lol.

Glad to see the fog finally lifted, looked like a pretty nice day after that.
