I woke up this morning feeling much better than yesterday, but still very washed out. Decided to stay one more night in Erwin and I have a shuttle picking me up tomorrow morning at 8:00. Was able to eat today and continued to drink a lot of fluids. Walked into town for food resupply and also managed to get a much needed haircut. Cobweb Rose left around noon today and was able to catchup with MC and Snapshot at their campsite. Apparently Snapshot became sick last night but with a milder version of what I had so he and MC took it easy today. I will eventually catch up with the rest of the team, though it may take several days.
And the journey continues…

I heard the expression at Amicolola Base Camp: “listen to your body, not your mind.” Glad you are listening to your body and heeding its needs!

You made the right choice. Take care of yourself it’s not a race. Listen to your body. Do you have any idea where everyone got sick? Same food? The “no door” privy? 🙂

Thanks Lori. We really have no idea but would guess it was the last shelter site (the one with the footless privy). But, there is so much of the virus on the trail it could have been anywhere. Take care.
