May 23 - Missed Magic

Post date: May 24, 2012 10:40:14 PM

"Five Pair", "Soho" and "Lady Forward" headed off with rain in the forecast and 18 miles on the schedule.

Luckily, the hikers avoid rain for the most part but unfortunately for "Five Pair" she also missed Trail Magic by minutes as she went through the magic spot before the provider’s arrival. This version, painfully for "Five Pair", included Krispy Kreme donuts (a staple in "Five Pair's" ordinary diet) and soda.

While depressing to hear about, "Five Pair" pitched her tent as did a number of other hikers by the creek near the Brown Mountain Creek Shelter and enjoyed dinner by the campfire along with "Soho", "Lady Forward", "Peppa Boy", "FM", "Wall-E", "Pedestrian" and a couple other hikers.

Tomorrow "Five Pair" and the rest of the NOBO thru-hikers will pass the 800 mile mark.

799.3 miles complete/ 1,385.1 miles to go
