Well, the weather, which has been great so far, is turning foul for the next week or so. Here’s the forecast for Hampton, TN.

It will be about 10 degrees colder on the trail up in the mountains, perhaps even more so at Roan Mountain, the highest shelter on the AT. Temperatures should be below freezing at night!

So, it’s time to call this a short section and head home.

So when you’re cold
From the inside out
And don’t know what to do,
Remember love and friendship,
And warmth will come to you.
