It is a long hot day. This morning we said goodbye to Paradise - he has suffered from very sore and tender feet over the last month or so, and walked with us from Waynesboro at a 'slower pace' to see if it helped. But he is in a lot of pain and decided to stop the hike at this point. He hopes to meet up with us in Australia in 2011, so we are looking forward to this but as I write this we have not heard anything from him.
We visit Pinefield Hut and find the Gen Y Group of 6 who are still there , unpacked at 10.30am. We climb Hightop Mt. and are passed by Gen Y on the descent, who announce that they are hitching to the nearest town. We leave them to it on the highway. We arrive at the picnic ground where we hope to camp illegally but there is nowhere to set up camp so we keep going and decide to set up the tent on a flat area in the middle of a forestry track. Quite comfortable but hard to get the pegs into the ground.
We are very proud of ourselves - we have just clocked over 900 miles total.
