To test out Not Sure’s foot we slack packed ~9 miles from Indian Grave Gap back to Erwin. It was nice to go SOBO. One, because it was downhill. Knees were KT taped and held up well. Two, we got to see a lot more hikers. We counted 65+ thru hikers which is crazy. Going into town and the weather creates a bubble, but it’s far more than I thought. Saw some hikers I hadn’t seen in awhile. Beast, Tennessee, Lost and Found, Drizzle. It was nice to catch up. Made it back into Erwin just in time to miss the afternoon showers. The slack packing and zeros have been nice, but I’m ready to move on and keep heading NOBO.
