After spending Saturday doing what Brandon does best --- kicking back and socializing --- he set out northbound on the trail around 10 o'clock Sunday morning. 16.5 miles later they (Brandon, Kevin & Russ) arrived at Standing Indian Shelter, the second shelter after crossing the Georgia-North Carolina border. I think the day of rest re-energized them so much that they decided they were not finished for the day when they arrived at Muskrat Creek Shelter and pressed on for an additional 5 miles. I'm sure the fact that Spencer showed up and assisted Brandon in lightening his pack by a good 8 pounds helped to quicken his steps up the trail tremendously! Thank you Spencer! After hiking 14 miles today (about 3 pm), Brandon sent me a video from the top of the fire tower at Albert Mountain.

Brandon,Brandon go hike that trail, the next time we see you we will tell, for your hair will be long, and your breath will be strong, but always remember when you come back we can play some beer pong.
