Meet Tobasco and a lot of other great people, I can't believe this trail and the people, more than I ever imagined. Carried way to much food in the beginning and wieghed in at neels gap at 45 lbs, shaved about 5 lbs in town here and will be carrying a lot less food now, shouldn't be above 38 completely full of food and water. Got sold on hiking poles and am in the market for pair, can't find any in town here, guess I'll wait untill Franklin.
Thanks to everyone here at the site, don't think I could of done it with out this place.
Josh from Iowa, no trail name I know of yet
