Jellytellarito!

That's the name I came up with for the meal I've had for lunch two days now.  Grape jelly and Nutella in a burrito shell.

It's been a rainy couple of days on the trail.

The picture is of my socks smoking in the Stover Creek shelter, where I slept last night, just two miles north of Springer Mountain.

At approximately 2:47 p. m.  on Wednesday, I hiked past white blaze No.1 of the AT.

Heading for a party - trail maestro and memoirist Winton Porter's birthday - at Neel's Gap tomorrow.

And the trail so far is heaven. Smooth ups and downs and every step on soft earth.
