April 6-7 - Rufus Morgan Shelter and NOC, North Carolina

Post date: Apr 11, 2012 10:36:23 PM

The hikers are approaching Nantahala and put in 15.5 miles with the decision to take a "nero day" (limited hiking vs. a "zero day" where there is no hiking to let the body heal) as they will be within 1 mile of Nantahala where they can resupply their food. They stay near the A. Rufus Morgan Shelter for the night and head to Nantahala the next morning.

In Nantahala, a festival is underway with outfitters showing their wares and "Austin" and Terri restock and relax at NOC (Nantahala Outdoor Center) with Fontana Dam being their next destination.

137.1 miles complete/2047.3 miles to go.
