Last night was not as cold, but not by much. I made the mistake of putting my water in the foot of my quilt. Harold had gone to the stream about dark and filled me up. I didn't want it to freeze so I tucked it in with me. I will not be doing that again. My feet were what froze instead.The get up and hike routine works well. First thing Harold asked this morning was if we were going to do it again. It¢s nice to find a warm (well warmer) spot in the sun instead of shivering while you eat.We made it back to the car and it still had all four tires. You never know what will happen when you leave your car at a trailhead. It is unfortunate that our society is that way.We decided to head north into NC and stopped at a Huddle House in Brevard for lunch. The waitress was a little strange. She was asking everyone if they were happy. It was kind of like the scene in "When Harry Met Sally" and the woman said "I'll have what she's having". I just had a steak burger. Why is food so good when you come off the trail?We made it home late in the afternoon. My dog was so happy I was home. She ran around in circles in the yard. My bed felt really good after two nights in the cold.Just 3 more weeks until Martin and I start our hike.February 19, 2010Last night was not as cold, but not by much.
