Day 10 - Update

Al got in at 11 a.m. in Wesson North Carolina, a total of 137 miles so far. Its been cold and rainy. In 2 - 3 days he'll be arriving at the Santana Dam which is the start of the Smokey Mountains. Tonight he's staying at the Nantahala hiking club which is an outdoor center that has kayaking, canoeing, hiking, etc. At the time of this update he was having a beer and going to find a restaurant to order something fatty. He reports that he has lost some weight and needs to fatten up a bit, but his body is holding up well and he's raking in the miles. Recent attempts to resupply have been somewhat unsuccessful as the only 'food' he's been able to get are snickers bars, crackers, beef jerky and nuts. On the last resupply he bought a pound of nuts and ate those over a 4 day period. Order the steak tonight, Al.
