Weather Update

Well....we're still here in Marion.  We are going to make a decision tomorrow. As of now it looks like we may be spending tomorrow day and night as well, revamping our gear and taking a few precautionary measures (weather radio, plastic bags to keep feet dry inside shoes, extra batteries and fuel supplies, etc...) and then hopefully heading back out on the trail as long as the weather stays the same.  Here in town, at much lower elevations than we'll be after about 2 miles back on the trail, there is still several inches in the woods.  After talking to a couple fellow hikers, it seems we're all in the same predicament.  A few inches of snow isn't too big of a deal, but hiking in 3+ feet (mt rogers, grayson highlands...) isn't in the cards.  We'll keep you posted, but know we're hoping to forge on, all the way to Georgia :) Happy Halloween!
