8.8 miles on March 1st. I did not write last night because of the catastrophe that it was. Not much sleep was had due to getting in late and hellasush (hellatious) winds making my tarp into a sail. At midnight I woke up without a tarp at al and had to gather all the pieces to put my shelter back together.
Today has been awesome. It was sunny but cold, my favorite weather, and there was very little wind. We made it 15 miles today and I found a very promising way to stake out my tarp (as long as there aren't 40 mile an hour gusts of wind). Atlas is doing great, though he refuses to sleep on his pad. I thought he would be miserable last night, but when I woke up spooning with him I realized why he wasn't. I'm right on schedule and hope to be into the Smokies in a couple weeks.
C-Zur
don Juan's note: I'll be posting these one-a-day-except-for-days-I-can't-or-forget to keep ya'll salivating. C-Zur is actually in the Smokies right now, so we're about two weeks behind. Maybe I'll post two-a-day for awhile; we'll see.

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.
