2021 Appalachian Trail Thru-hike

Day 6

4 days 20.2 miles with the approach trail and i slip on a wet rock with muddy boots. Spent yesterday in a hotel with ice and ibuprofen. Had already been advised to get off trail from Wednesday till the following Monday due to forecasted weather of below freezing temps and strong chances of severe thunderstorms. Last night i made the call to get checked and reevaluate, So am back home with a hopefully projected 2.0 restart no later than the end of April. Got to play the cards your dealt in life. Throughly enjoyed my short experience, and hoping for a quick return.

Well unfortunately Mr. Murphy reared his ugly F..king head today. My bank (MARINE FEDERAL) screwed me over at the vehicle rental counter. Have to straighten this out in the am. But now my step off date has been pushed back a week due to no vehicles being available to rent till then. Really hoping the lodge at Amicalola doesnt shaft me as well with the late cancelation for tommorrow even though i already booked a room for next monday . So Yeah, Its been a really f...ked up afternoon.
