March 11th - Day 7 - Dicks creek gap to Standing Indian Shelter
Hiking with Live - n - Learn. Long uphill slog to muskrat creek shelter. We cross the North Carolina border around noon. A hiker named Rear Admiral Foggy Caboose offers up a celebratory pull of whiskey at the border. Even more uphill.... At the shelter Live and I opt to take the 0.25 blue blaze out to ravens rock. Still one of the best views of the Trail. A group of hikers we met pushed on 5 miles to Standing Indian shelter and we follow suit. Country, Mason(later Rockfish), Illlinois, Chowder, Live, and some section hikers are here including a 2013 thru. The former thru entertains all of us around the campfire with his stories of working as a teacher inside a prison.
