Started out at Newfound Gap after hitchhiking from Cherokee; got a ride quick and easy. The hike was long along the ridge with amazing views. I’m at Peck’s Corner Shelter for the night with rain expected overnight into tomorrow.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
