B's CT journey is going well! This week, she had a rest day in Lake City and sent an update on day 24 of her hike: "Back on the trail! Hitched a ride this morning and made it 14.5 miles. We had some rain delays and wondering, 'should we go or should we stay?' We went for it. Turned out pretty nice. Lots of alpine miles and big views! Camping high and hoping the thunder stays away for the evening..."
