Appalachian Trail 2023 | Day 8 | Low Gap Shelter to Unicoi Gap

in travel •  2 years ago 

Today is a beautiful day on the Appalachian Trail 🗻.

Spent my first night sleeping in a shelter 🏡 so I didn’t have to carry a wet tent ⛺️ the next day.

Heading into Helen, GA to wait for a storm ⛈️ to pass tomorrow.
