Unforseen Circumstances

Due to some unforseen circumstances, i.e. a stress fracture, we've relocated ourselves to the town of Franklin NC.

We did about 8 miles yesterday, over the NC boarder, and past the big oak tree that grows there. We celebrated with 4 complete strangers that happened to be hiking by while we were there.

On our decent into deep gap, things got a big ugly, and akles and knees were hurt, so the next morning we got a shuttle into Franklin, and are currently taking a day or two to rest, before getting back on the trail.

As a side note, there is a large "Hiker Fools Bash" going on in franklin this weekend, but we don't know how long we're staying... If we decide to press on, we can get shuttled back from the NOC which is about 20 miles north of here.
