Full day of hiking before getting off at Rock Gap, for a zero in the town of Franklin, NC. Franklin has developed into a major resupply for the AT. Lots of good pictures today.
A very cold day to hike. It didn’t get much warmer than this.

Lots of gap hiking today.



A new state means new shelters.




Approaching and summiting Albert Mountain, mile 99. 5213 feet.
