Day one started off to an easy start. Had a great breakfast at the hotel and got a ride with Cody to Deep Gap.

We drove long into the woods before Cody stopped and we got out. We had a steady climb the first few miles with a dense canopy. Weather was cool and mostly cloudy, perfect hiking weather!

We climbed to 5500 feet before a gradual decent back down. We met a few other hikers and we had the usual trail chit chat of where are you going, where are you headed to and the weather.

We stopped for lunch of beef couscous and we met Burning Calves. She is from Germany and is so helpful to us with her trail knowledge! Anyway, she chatted with us for a few minutes and off she went. We finished our lunch and started on the trail again. It was mostly the same for most of the day until we finally came to a clearing and got to see the beautiful view. So many trees and rolling hills!
After that we found our self a nice little campsite where we set up camp, ate, and went to sleep!! A great first day!!!
Random thoughts and songs of the day: Wow, its hot. And humid. And high altitude. Wow. What are we doing?!? How much is this pack? Your Love (The Outfield) just the chorus mostly.
