18.8 miles today from the NOC to a place just 10 miles from Fontana that just so happens to have the name "Cody Gap." So I felt the need to spend the night. Other than that today really sucked it was long and there was a lot of elevation gained and lost. Climbing out of the Nantahala Gorge (1740 ft) to Cheoah Bald (5062 ft) in ~8 miles was the worst climb yet. I plan on getting up early tomorrow and meeting my parents at Fontana Dam so I'm going to bed.

My name is Cody Zurhellen and I am 23 years old. Last season 3 close friends of mine hiked the Appalachian Trail and initially I had planned to hike with them. However, for a number of reasons I decided to stay home and work. After hiking the New Jersey section with them I knew that I had missed out on a huge opportunity. So I decided on the drive home that I would undertake the trip the following season. Well, here we are...and its time for me to start out.
