Friday, April 15th

Today we woke up at our camping spot which was about 100 yards away from the store at Neels Gap. We quickly got ready and drank coffee before heading into the store at Neels Gap. We asked if we could take a shower and it costed us $5 each. We took showers, changed, then went to the store to buy food. We bought about $100 worth of food and then bought a couple of t-shirts. For the first 4 days we had plenty of extra food and so to cut down on weight for the next 6 days we decided to go lighter on the food when we resupplied. We finally set out to finish the day with a simple 5 mile hike to Testnatee Gap since we just resupplied. After reaching our destination around 2:30 we felt like we had more in us, so we cut down on tomorrows 12 mile hike by hiking more. We ended up hiking an extra 3.5 miles to Steep Rock Top. We finally set up camp around 6:30. We set up the tent, made dinner, watched a ridiculous multi-colored sunset over the mountains, then went to bed.
