MUSKRAT CREEK SHELTER > DEEP GAP > AMICALOLA LODGE

Day 10 – 4 miles – We got up and moving slowly this morning. Had breakfast and packed up. Once on trail I gave Tim final word on ending the hike. His shins weren’t doing the greatest. By the time I had phone signal we had a final decision to get off trail and return to Amicalola. We ran into Hiking Hobbit and her husband at Deep gap prior to Ron’s arrival. Ron arrived and took us to a nearby Ingles so we could get some cold drinks etc. then onwards a couple hours to Amicalola to my vehicle. We drove up to the lodge, requested, and received a room for the night. We got all cleaned up and into our street clothes. I sure did miss my cotton boxers. đŸ˜‰ We spoke to a few hikers preparing to set out in the coming days and tried to impart some wisdom. Dinner was good and we called it another early night.
