Hogback Mt Shelter to Somewhere Stealth

High hopes of another 20 were dashed just a little while ago. Moving right along we were sure a 25 was in order. Until we came upon a ridge-beast! That is, a ridge with teeth! Boulders, smaller rocks, scramble, etc. Since we really didn't leave Tennessee, we figure (as all states have) that TN isn't going down without a fight. We will actually end our NC/TN tightrope tomorrow.

Even with the difficult terrain we did manage a respectable 19.8 today. We started our 23rd week today as well. Calculating the numbers from week 22 see that we had our biggest week averaging 19.7 every day for a total of 137.9 miles! 

We also slipped under the 300 milestone with 295.3 miles to go.
