    Cooooold night on Springer last night. It was about 16* when we woke up this morning, and probably not much warmer when we turned in. Probably about an inch or so of snow on the ground. Restless night of sleep with all my layers on in a 17* rated bag. Was warm other than my poor feet.

    Saw a fair number of thru-hikers, and helped a few of them out when their filters froze with a ride into Dahlonega for a quick resupply (and got my trail name out of it. Hey!), dropped them back off at the trailhead and walked with them to Three Forks.

    Razor was out doing the Ridge-Runner thing and it was good to see him out. There were some nice folks doing trail magic at Three Forks, as well.

    Planning to head up to Springer next Saturday or Sunday morning with Donuts and Coffee if I can make it work.

    Stay warm out there, folks!

    Awesome weather this weekend, and it looks like it'll hopefully carry into next week. Did from Springer to Hawk Mountain shelter with a buddy yesterday, then hiked back out today. Lot of folks on the trail!

    Crazy to realize the next time I make that trip, it's for real!
