November 7, 2013: l slept on the picnic table bench, which might not have been the best idea. But I stayed dry from the rain, so it was ok in the end. We had pancakes for breakfast, then Rainbow Braid offered to slack pack us. We took her up on the offer, and set off down the foggy trail. Pivot Dude was on a mission, and I didn't catch him until the road just below Springer.
At the Hawk Mountain shelter I had lunch, and thought about the maintainer I had met up in the 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine. Seems like just a few days ago. The weather started to clear, and by the time I got to the gap it was sunny.
We found the second bottle of champagne hidden in the woods, and walked the last mile of the trail. On top we celebrated. Champagne, lots of pictures, even congratulations from the random other hikers who happened to be around. Back at the car, Rainbow Braid gave us a ride to Atlanta and let us crash at her place for the night.
2185.8 miles, 142 days. 15 miles per day, on average. It was a nice walk.

The joy of #hiking up a really steep hill on half-frozen mud for an hour :P
