Had another wonderful pancake breakfast at First Baptist Church in Franklin. Today a group of us are planning to slack pack the next 10 miles. It’s suppose to rain, but we should be done before most of it roles through. I was glad to have the opportunity to break in my new boots. It was nice hiking without all the extra weight, however, at mile 2 the rest of the group decided to call it early and get off after 5 miles. I couldn’t argue since they were my ride, but I found not being in charge rather frustrating. I’ve been warned about getting locked into a trail family too early. Don’t be pushed to do too many or too few miles or stay in town if you don’t want to. So I think I’m going to move on from this group because we just don’t seem to be in sync. I’m sure I’ll see them around, but I’m just not going to cater my plans to theirs. Spent the rest of the day chilling around town. Of course the rain didn’t come like they predicted.
