Day 2 started with a climb up and over Hump Mountain. It’s tougher than it looks but the views were amazing!
After the 2.5 miles over Hump Mountain, the long (4.5 miles) steep descent back to Mountain Harbor followed. At Doll Flats, I got water and left NC. Met lots of thru-hikers who were mostly young and fast. (I’m old and slow!)
Back at Mountain Harbor, they opened their Food Truck for the season. Burgers, wings and fries finished the day with trail stories.

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

Now it’s time to go back home. Millie’s recovering.
