Puiki ¡iandien diena. Pagal vakar dienos prognoze turejo lyti i¡tisa diena, taciau nuo pat ryto saule ¡viete ir ¢bulkiniai¢ debesys ganesi po dangu. Taciau jautesi kad taip ilgai nesites. I¡ ma34iuku debeseliu formavosi galingi audros debesys ir buvo tik laiko klausimas kada jie pratruks. Palapine pasistaciau ¢savo¢ senoje vietoje. Tik, tik prapliumpant sodriam pavasario lietui. Besiilsint palapineje lietus apstojo ir a¡, i¡lindes laukan ir paejes toleliau, galejau ira¡yti dienos pastebejimus. Nuostabu kaip kvepia mi¡kas po lietaus...Neels Gap namo i¡siunciau visus ¡altam orui paruo¡tus rubus, viso apie pusantro kilo. Kuprine i¡ karto lengvesne pasidare. Maisto turiu i valias, gal net daugiau negu reiketu. Pirmomis dienomis vis ka34kas kitaip. Ka34ko per daug, ka34ko per ma34ai...Ir su Rima per skaipa ¡auniai pasi¡nekejau. Ne¡uosi savo iPoduka. Tereikia tik nemokama WiFi rasti kelyje ir bendrauk su visu pasauliu. Dabar WiFi turi vos ne kiekvienas hostelis, vie¡butis ar miestuose McDonaldo restoranelis. Taigi komunikacijos at34vilgiu nebera problemu.Vienas dalykas prie kurio dar teks priprasti, tai neiprastas mano akiai 34moniu gausumas take. Tuntai, ordos, kaimenes¢¦ Na, gal truputi ir perdedu, bet tiesos dalis yra.                                                ---|---Today - a great day. According to yesterday's forecast was rain all day, but since this morning the sun was shining and soft clouds grazed the sky. However, I have a feeling that the weather will not last long. From clouds like Baby Balloons powerful storm clouds formed, and it was only a matter of time before they burst. Set up the tent in the old "my own¢ place before pouring spring rain started. While resting in tent, rain stopped. Then, I came out and went a short distance from tent site to record the day¢s observations. It's amazing how smells of the forest after the rain...From Neels Gap I sent home all prepared for cold weather clothing, totaling about three pounds. Backpack instantly becomes much lighter. I have more than enough food. During the first few days always is something different. Something's got too much, too little of something¢¦sometimes.Chatted nicely with Rima via Skype. I have my iPod. You only need to find free WiFi on the way and can communicate with the all world. Now almost every hostel, hotel has WiFi, either McDonalds restaurant in towns. So, in regards of the communication, is no longer a problem.One thing I have noticed - unusual abundance of people on the trail. Scouts, hordes, and flocks ... well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but the element of truth actually is.

Atsikliau penkt ryto dar su tamsa. Kad ir kaip stengiausi tyliai susidti savo ¡mutkes, bet vistiek i¡budinau kelis haikerius, tarp kuri3 buvo ir Little Bird. Atsisveikindami pasimojavome ir a¡ nuskubjau ant kalno keteros, nuo kurios ir sutikau saultek . 12emai apaioje kloniuose dar kunkuliavo debesys, o vir¡un jau glost pirmieji sauls spinduliai. Buvo beproti¡kai gra34u ir tai nuteik puikiai visai ¡ios dienos kelionei iki Dicks Creek Gap. Nuo ten jau reiks tranzuoti iki Hiawasee miestelio.Kvepia mi¡kas. Kaip kvepia mi¡kas pavasary! 12ied3 tu nematai, bet uodi t tok  specifin , sunkiai apra¡om ir su niekuo nepalyginam pavasarin  mi¡ko kvap.Prie¡ pat Dicks Creek ant upeliuko kranto suoliukas yra pastatytas. Toks ma34iukas ir visai ne34ymus. A¡ prajau pro j  pro¡al  du kartus ¢ 2006m. ir 2010m.  iais metais a¡ nusileidau iki jo ir atsisdau. Tiesiai prie¡ j  kliuksjo ma34as kriokliukas, kuris buvo nematomas nuo tako. Atsisdau ir ka34kodl taip gera pasidar. Matyt ne veltui ia jis stovi, matyt ia ka34kokia speciali vieta ia yra¢¦ Dar ir nusifotografavau. Va taip.---|--- I got up on the fifth morning, even with the darkness. No matter how I tried to pack my backpack quietly, but still awake several hikers, among them a Little Bird. Then I said good-bye to everybody, and I hurried to the crest of the hill on which I met sunrise. Down from a ridge, still seething clouds and the tops have stroked the first rays of the sun. It was insanely perfect, and it predisposes well for this entire day trip to Dicks Creek Gap, and from here I will be hitchhiking to Hiawasee town.The forest smells good. How smells the forest in spring! You cannot see flowers, but only feel this specific, hard-described, unparalleled spring forest smell. Before the Dicks Creek on the streams shore, bench is built. So small and negligible. I went through here twice - 2006 and 2010. This year, I came and sat down. Directly, before it runs small fall, which was not visible along the trail. I sat down and for some reason, it became so good. It seems no coincidence that here it stands, apparently some sort of a special place is here¢¦

Devint ryto kr«v haikeri3, kurie ilsjosi Budget Inn vie¡butyje, susodino   sen mokyklin  autobusiuk ir nuve34 atgal prie tako. O, taip, miestas yra gerai, bet patogumai ir kiti geri dalykai stipriai plonina pinigin ir, ties sakant, man asmeni¡kai greitai pabosta. Vis tik tikslas yra ne mgautis miesto malonumais, o pailsti, apsiprekinti ir vl pirmyn   keli.Vis tik koks skirtingas tako kontingentas: 65m. am34iaus motri¡ke vardu Brown Britle, jauni 34mons, vienas vyras be rankos nuo peties.  iandien kelias neilgas bet vos ne vis dien tik au¡tyn.Apsistojau prad34ioje ties Muskrat Creek ¡elteriu, pavalgiau, bet vliau, atjo du tokie ¢macho¢ vaikinai ir pradjo statytis savo palapine vos ne prie pat mano, kurti lau34. Turiu ¢alergij¢ lau34o d«mams, ypa kai jie skverbiasi   palapin mane dusindami. Nesakydamas n 34od34io ir juos ignoruodamas, susirinkau visk atgal   kuprin ir trukteljau toliau taku apie nepiln myli. Ties Whiteoak Stamp atradau puikiausi, koki tik gali  sivaizduoti, vietel palapinei. Pasistats j, netrukus mgavausi absoliuia ramybe, pertraukiam tik pauk¡i3 giesmmis. Ilgai vienas pauk¡telis iulbjo netoliese, suteikdamas galimyb  ra¡yti jo giesm.---|--- Ninth in the morning bunch of hikers, which rested on Budget Inn, were placed in an old school van and drove back to the trail. Oh, yes, the city is okay, but amenities, and other good things significantly thins the wallet and, frankly, I personally get bored quickly. Still, the goal is not to enjoy the pleasures of the city, but to rest, resupply, and then hit the road.Still, what a different trail contingent: 65-year-old woman Brown Britle, young people, a man with no hand from the shoulder.I stayed at the Muskrat Creek shelter, ate, but then came two such " macho " guys and started to pitch their tent just off to the mine, creating fire. I have allergies to " campfire smoke¢, especially when they are tapping into the tent choking me. Without telling the word and ignoring them, I gathered everything back into the backpack and pulled to farther trail  about a mile. At Whiteoak Stamp, I discovered the perfect place for tent. I pitched it and soon enjoyed absolute silence, interrupted by bird's singing. Long time one bird sang nearby, providing the ability to record the song.

Pradjo lynoti ir nebuvo lengva 34ingsniuoti su ¡lapiomis kojomis. Bekopint   Standing Indian kaln, sutikau vaik3 b«rel . Jie lydimi dviej3 suaugusi3 vadov3, i¡jo   kalnus trejetui - ketvertui dien3 ir dabar atrod kaip b«relis ma343 ir su¡lapusi3 vi¡iuk3 b«relis. Kai jie sustojo buvo proga pa¡nekti. Vienam, kuriam kaip jis pats pasisak, neseniai sukako 12 met3. Fainas toks ir akys ¡viesios. O a¡, sakau, esu 56-i3.  ita haikinimo bacila u34sikrti tur b«t visam gyvenimui. Kodl ma34iausi haikeriai tysia did34iausi ir sunkiausi kuprin? O gal tai vizualin apgaul? Ma34iausias stipruolis prie kuprins buvo prisiri¡s net dvi keptuves. Klausiu vieno vadovo, ar vaikinas ir virtuvin  praustuv turi? Ne, sako, bet b«t3 pasimes, jei galt3.Ant Standing Indian kalno pradjo stipriai lyti. Striuk puikiai laik, nors ¡ilta tikrai nebuvo. Bet nuo kalniuko gra34iai nusiritau ir vliau iki Carter Gap jau ir saul protarpiais pasirodydavo.  elteryje jau buvo moteri¡k, ia atjusi i¡ Muskrato. Ji pralenk mane. Klausiu jos, pasakyk man savo ¢secret ingredient¢. Tu, sakau, ne eini, o skrendi vir¡ kaln3. A¡ ir taip ne visi¡kai ltas, o pagauti nesugebu. 12inai, sako, kai moterys su¡ala jos skuba pasiekti ¡ilt viet.Big Spring Shelter nestojau nakvyns, bet pajau apie myli toliau ir, nusileids Long Branch Trail taku iki upelio, radau ideali viet stovyklai.---|---It started to drizzle, and it was not easy to walk with wet feet. When ascending Standing Indian Mountain, I met a bunch of children. They are accompanied by two adult leaders went to the mountains for three - four days and now looked like a group of small and wet chickens. When they stopped, I had the opportunity to speak them. One, which recently turned 12 years old, was very nice and bright. This hiking bacillus had possibly become infected for life. Why the smallest hiker carrying the largest and heaviest backpack? Or is it a visual deception? Two pans were attached to his backpack. I asked the leader, does a boy took the kitchen sink? No, he said, but this boy probably would if he could.On the Standing Indian Mountain began to rain heavily. Jacket holds very well, although certainly not warm on top. I nicely rolled down the hill and then to Carter Gap. Sun has appeared intermittently. At Carter Gap Shelter has been a woman, who came here from Muskrat. She surpassed me. I ask her to tell me her " secret ingredient " . You, I said, not walking. You are flying over the mountains. I'm not totally slow and can¢t to catch you. You know, she explains, when some women freeze they are rushing to reach a warm place.I didn¢t stay overnight at Big Spring Shelter but walked about a mile further. Then I took Long Branch Trail trail where I found the perfect place to camp near stream.

Beproti¡kai ¡altas rytas i¡au¡o. Kadangi stovykla buvo tarpukalneje, tai pagal visus aerodinamikos desnius, vejo greitis tarpukalneje kartais dvigubai vir¡ija vejo greiti an kalno vir¡unes. Palapine atlaike puikiai, prilaikoma dvieju atotampu. Labai jau tingejau luptis i¡ ¡ilto miegmai¡io, todel dar guledamas, i¡siviriau kar¡tos kakavos ir papusryciavau.Pirma puse dienos puse iki Wesser Bald kalno buvo vejuota ir ¡alta. Bet ilgainiui oras su¡ilo ir NOC pasiekiau su puikia nuotaika. Apsigyvenau Bartram nameliu komplekse, kaip ir praeitu 34ygiu metu. Kokie gi haikeriu poreikai atejus i miesteli? Ogi nusiprausti po kar¡tu du¡u, stipriai pavalgyti ¢tikro¢ maisto, apsiprekinti tolimesnei kelionei ir i¡miegoti tikroje lovoje. Ai¡ku Bartrame tikru lovu nera, tik dviauk¡ciai gultai. Bent jau horizontalus pavir¡ius yra! Outfiteryje (turizmo prekiu parduotuve) nusipirkau Superfeet batu ideklus ir i¡ karto kojos pajuto dideli skirtuma. Dabar nebejauciu po padais smulkiu akmenuku ir kulnas nebeslankioja. Pritryniau viena tokia pobjauria pusle ant de¡inio kulno, tai gal tas pades greiciau i¡sigydyti. Kelis kartus skambinausi Rimai ir ilgai su ja ¡nekejau. Ir su dukra Aiste susikalbejau. Ma34iukui Mintei i¡operavo polypus ir vyrukas stipriai taisosi. Aiste - gera mama. Dar reikes ¡i bei ta nusipirkti. Rytoj ryte vel kelionen. Gra34i gamta, gera nuotaika, ko gi dar man reikia?                                                -----|-----Terribly cold morning dawned. I was very lazy to peel off from the warm sleeping bag, so still lying down, boiled hot cocoa and ate my breakfast.The first half of the day to Wesser Bald Hill was windy and cold. But eventually the weather has warmed and I reached NOC with superb mood. Settled in Bartram cottages complex, as well as during the previous hikes. What are the needs of hikers coming to town? Well, take a hot shower, eat "real" food, resupply for the further journey and sleep in a good bed. Obviously in Bartran certain beds are not available, only double decker bunks. At least a horizontal surface is! In Outfit (tourist shop) bought Superfeet shoe inserts and immediately legs felt a huge difference. Now no longer feel the under soles pebblys and the heels does not rub. Appeared one such ugly blister on right heel, so maybe that will help heal faster. Phoned Rima several times and talked a long time with her. And to daughter Aiste phoned. Grandson Mintej underwent polyps surgery and guy recovering strongly. Aiste - a good mother. Still need to buy this and that. Tomorrow morning, once again journey. Beautiful nature, good mood, what else could I need?

Palikau NOC be penkiolikos vienuolikta valanda. Prie¡ tai dar suspejau su Rima pa¡neketi, restorane i buteliuka alyvuogiu aliejaus prisipilti ir autfiterio parduotuveje spirito nusipirkti savo vyryklei. Apsirupinau maistu ¡e¡ioms dienoms, turetu u34tekti iki Standing Bear Farm hostelio. Reikejo labai tiksliai skaiciuoti dienos raciona, nes nesinorejo apsikrauti papildomu svoriu.Oras buvo pats tas, - nei per ¡ilta, nei per ¡alta. Tik jau veliau ant Cheoah kalno trumpai pasniguriavo. Vienu metu visai netiketai pro sunkius ir ka34ko pritvinkusius debesis net saule buvo pasirod34iusi.Blue Skyeris, kuris i¡ejo i¡ NOC gerokai veliau, ties Stecoah Gap mane pavijo, pralenke ir 34valiai nukulniavo toliau. Toliau seke ilgas ir labai status pakilimas, ypac ties Jacobs Ledges ikalne. O po to dar ir lyti pradejo. Prad34ioje nestipriai, taciau Brown Fork Gap ¡elteri pasiekiau jau pliaupiant visu smarkumu. Gerai kad vietos atsirado, nes statytis palapine jau nebuvo prasmes.Jau visai sutemus i¡siviriau vakariene, pavalgiau ir, isiranges miegmai¡in, netrukus nugimzdau sald34iu sapnu karalysten.                                                ---|---I left the NOC unusually late - somewhere besides fifteen to eleventh hour. Somehow managed to call and speak to Rima. At restaurant filled the bottle with olive oil and bought alcohol for my stove. I have food for six hiking days. Should be enough to reach Standing Bear Farm Hostel. I had a very precise calculation of the daily diet, because did not want to impose an overload of extra weight.The weather was the same one - neither too warm nor too cold. Only later on Cheoah Mount brief snow sprinkled. At one point unexpectedly through something heavy and engorged cloud even the sun turned out.Blue Sky, who came out of the NOC much later, at the Stecoah Gap, caught me up, outpaced and perky went ahead. There followed a long and extremely steep ascends, particularly at Jacobs Ledger. Then rain started. Initially gently, but Brown Fork Gap Shelter reached under the pouring rain. Well, I¢m gonna sleep there in the shelter, because was no longer make sense to set up a tent.In the dark made and ate a dinner, then get in the sleeping bag. Soon drowned in sweet dreams kingdom.

Visa miela naktele audra trankesi. Nurimo tik prie¡ ryta ir ¡ilto oro gusiai lengvai ¡lamino med34iu vir¡unes. Netrukus a¡ jau traukiau taku toliau. Jeigu vakar kalnu vir¡unese sniguriavo, tai ¡iandien tikra vasara pasirode. Vejas linksmai gainiojosi debesis po dangu ir buvo labai smagu keliauti.Fontana Lake prieplaukos parduotuveleje pagal tradicija nusipirkau ¡iek tiek saldumynu ir kelis sumu¡tinius. Sededamas prie¡ saulute u34kand34iavau, tingiai plepedamas su man kompanija palaikanciu Blue Sky. Nuo prieplaukos iki Fontana Hilton ¡elterio tik 1.2 mylios ir nelabai norejosi palikti patogu suola. Bet vis tiek reikia eiti. Dar ir vieta u34siimsiu geresne.Noreciau dar karta padekoti Rimai u34 dar viena suteikta galimybe igyvendinti savo svajone. Jauciuosi beproti¡kai gerai. Visai kita nuotaika yra thru-haikinant, negu turejau 2010 m., kai kelioneje buvau tik pora savaiciu.Keli jauni vaikinai surenge tikra kovos ¡ou. Ai¡ku tai nebuvo tikra kova, bet buvo labai idomu juos stebeti. Vis tik, kiek daug jegu jie turi: visa diena tampesi su kuprine, trumpai pailsejo ir vel kibo jau dabar i ¢sportine¢ veikla. Jau de¡imt dienu keliauju ir jauciu kaip stipreja kojos ir kaip kunas adaptuojasi prie apkrovu.                                          ---|---Throughout the night, a storm broke. Subsided just before the morning and gusts of warm air lightly rustled treetops. If yesterday on the mountaintops snowed, today turned out a summer. Wind merrily chased clouds in the sky, and it was supper fun to walk.At Fontana Lake Marina store, according to tradition, bought some sweets and a few sandwiches. Snacked and lazy talked with my hiking buddy Blue Sky, sitting in front of the sun. From Pier to Fontana Hilton Shelter only 1.2 miles and I do not want to leave a comfortable bench. Still need to go. Even have to get a better place in the shelter.I would like once again to thank Rima for another opportunity to fulfill my dream. I¢m feeling insanely well. A have entirely different mood in my thru-hike this year, than I had in 2010 on my couple of weeks long section hike.At the shelter, some of the young guys exercised in action show. Clearly this was not a fight, but it was highly amusing to watch. Still, how much power they have: all day carried heavy backpack, rested briefly, and finally seemed already involved in "sports" activities.For the last ten days of traveling I felt much stronger, watching how the body adapts to the load.

Dar nepra¡vitus jau 34ygiavau 34vyrkeliu, vedanciu nuo I-40 iki Standing Bear Farm hostelio ir netrukus jau myniau AT, letai bet u34tikrintai kylanciu iki Snowbird kalno vir¡unes. Apie dvi su puse valandos tesesi kopimas, kurio metu praejau pro kokias tris improvizuotas stovyklavietes. Oras ¡iandien puikus - labai ¡ilta ir sauleta. Dar prie¡ Max Patch kalna vienas 34mogus pasibedavojo nebeturintis daugiau vandens. Del to jis 34ada nekopti i Max Patch. Kad nebutu jam liudna, pasidalinau savuoju vandeniu ir u34tikrinau kad prie¡ kalna teka nedidelis ir skaidrus upelis, kuriame jis tikrai gales net nusiprausti. Neu34ilgo mes keturiese sustojome prie upelio ir u34sipildeme visas talpas vandeniu. Jo tikrai reikes ant Max Patch, juolab kad ir pavalgyti esu numates ant vir¡unes.Vieta nakvoti numaciau ties Walnut Mtn ¡elteriu.

Tolimas kelias dar laukia, todel visada yra idomu pamatyti kaip kiti yra pasiruo¡e 34ygiavimui. Rytoj ¢ Hot Springsas---|---Yet sun not rises. I have marched the gravel road leading from I-40 to the Standing Bear Farm hostel, and soon walked AT, slowly but surely ascending up to Snowbird Mountain tops. Ascent continued about two and half hours, during which I went through three improvised campgrounds.Today's weather is perfect - very warm and sunny. Before Max Patch, one hiker told me that he runs out of water, and because of that, he probably is not going atop of Max Patch. I share my water, helping him to reach the water source just before climbing. The small clear stream runs in the ravine. After a while, four of us stopped at the stream and filled up all containers with water, and even washed up sweaty faces. I need a lot of water for my lunch on Max Patch.I am going to stay overnight near Walnut Mt. shelter. The mountaintop is flat, so there have already been more than a dozen tents. People prepared for the night, cooked, and ate, socialized telling each other their stories and sharing experiences. Long way still ahead, so I always interested to see how others are ready for the hike. Tomorrow - Hot Springs.

Trumpa ir faina diena.  iandien sutikau keleta 34moniu. Ryte prie ¡altinio teko kalbetis su Old Ridgerunner, veliau ant Bluff kalno sutikau i¡ priekio ateinanti Dah Vah He su kuriuo susipa34inau 2008 metais Millinocket, ME miestelyje. A¡ tuo metu jau buvau u34kopes i Katahdina, o jis ruo¡esi kopti kita ryta. Patinka man nusileidimas i miesteli, nes takas eina i¡ilgai gubrio, o i¡ de¡ines i¡kiles aki glosto 34aliais atspalviais mirguliuojantis status ¡laitas.Tik nusileides i¡ karto apsistojau naujame hostelyje, kuris randasi prie pat tako. Cia ir anksciau buvo hostelis, bet keliolika metu stovejo tu¡cias ir niekam nereikalingas. Prie ¡iu dienu prastokos ekonomikos net ir toks smulkus biznis pasirode pakankamai pelningas, todel hostelis buvo atgaivintas ir tapo labai patogus ¢pavargeliams¢ haikeriams. Visada miestas traukia patogumais, kar¡tu du¡u, geru maistu ir ¢teisingomis¢ parduotuvemis¢. Tik reikia buti labai atsargiems, nes patogumai ir sukurti tam, kad plonintu pinigine.Pasiemiau Rimos atsiusta siuntini, pavalgiau restorane. Buvau labai u34siemes, nes reikejo sudeti ir i¡siusti atgal kai kuriuos savo daiktus. Pa¡tas cia u34sidaro ketvirta, o outfiteris ¢ penkta valanda vakaro.U34siprekinau maistu keturioms dienoms iki Erwin, TN miestelio. Apie maista galima ¡neketi ir ¡neketi, nes jis haikeriui kaip benzas ma¡inai: pripili jo baka ¢ va34iuoji, imeti ¡okoladuka burnon ¢ 34ingsniuoji.                                    ---|---Today I met a few people. In the morning, at the spring talked to the Old Ridgerunner. Later on Bluff Mt. I¢ve bumped in from the front coming Dah Vah He with whom I met in 2008 Millinocket, ME town. At that time, I already climbed the Katahdin, and he was going climbing the next morning.I like descent into Hot Springs, as the trail runs along the ridge, and from the right eye caressing elevated green iridescent shades of steep slopes.In the town, I stayed at the new hostel, located close to the trail. It was previously hostel, but ten or more years stood empty and useless. These days rather poor economy, even such small business, proved to be profitable enough, so hostel was revitalized, and became very comfortable for tired hikers. City always attracting peoples with facilities, hot showers, delicious food and "fair" shops. Just we need to be extremely careful, because the facilities in towns are set up for a purpose: to make wallet thin.I picked up parcel sent Rima, ate at the restaurant. I was busy because I had packed and sent back home some of my belongings. Post Ofice here closes at fourth and outfitter - at five o'clock in the evening.Bought food for four days prior to Erwin, TN. About the food, we can talk and talk, because for hikers it like a gas for cars: it fills the tank ¢ and you go, put the chocolate in your mouth - and you walk.
