Its been about 2 weeks since we last heard from Al. Last night this email came in.......
I'm in Erwin Tn. to resupply, have done 340 miles. Its been hot...85 degrees during the day for the last 5 days. Not used to it and its been tough going. Tomorrow I'm leaving for 5 days on the trail. Still trying to eat everything I can get my hands on, and it appears my weight is becoming stable. My pack weight was 40lbs at Springer and in Hot Springs on 4/23 it was 35lbs, happy with that. Hoping when I get rid of my cold weather clothing I'll be able to be around 30lbs with 5 days of food. Always looking to make the pack lighter, cutting straps, pockets, etc.
