Still going a bit slow to make sure the knee is healed. The weather has been great. Only had to walk in the rain 1 day. Hiked up a mountain one day into a cloud, camped there overnight and hiked down the mountain the next day out of the cloud. The gear is performing great but I did ditch my new alcohol stove. The pepsi cans do much better. Next message should be from North Carolina. Haiwassee is just below the border. Later
