Day 40 – Zero Day in Erwin, TN

Up at 8:00. Rained and thunderstormed massively last night. Spent the morning doing chores: laundry, duct-taped handle on CNOC, cleaned my pack, sorted resupply box, replaced my worn-out gloves with new ones Dana sent me.

I spent the afternoon working on blog updates and planning out my next few resupplies. 

I heard from Mike. He got to Damascus. He aqua-blazed Lake Watauga. Cool.

Shuttled into town and bought a knee brace and got dinner at Taco Bell. 

Bought a new heavy knee brace at Walgreens. Made a sleeve to go under the brace out of a pair of super stretchy yoga pants I found in the hiker box. It will do.

Got to sleep around midnight. Miles to go tomorrow.
