Today we said good-bye to Georgia and crossed into North Carolina. We finished our stay at the Blueberry Patch Hostel with a breakfast feast complete with fresh biscuits, juice, and blueberry syrup. The hostel is run as a Christian ministry funded entirely from donations. Hiawassee is a cool town and if you visit, stop by the Blueberry Patch.
The hike out was rough with our bellies full and the food bags overrun. To make matters worse, the trudge from town is almost always uphill. We were in good spirits though--today was the first day we've seen the sun in five days.
Our goal of the day was crossing into a new state. The trail was snowy and we were afraid that we might miss the sign. Fortunately a fellow hiker was sitting by the sign as we approached. We had envisioned tobacco fields and sad basketball fans (UNC fans). What we got was more of the same GA trails plus added elevation and even more snow.
