Brrrr. Very cold night last night at Cold Spring. Temp was down around 10-15 degrees, and no one was toasty; convinced me to call Mountainsmith at the N.O.C. about the down feathers that appear to be shifting in my sleeping bag. Feet a little better today after another night of therapy, and they didn't get worse in the 6 miles of downhill to the N.O.C. Really neat whitewater kayaking place here, and Semicolon, Professor T and I are more than happy to be out of the cold tonight and in the bunkhouse with hot showers and laundry. Great dinner and easy hitching to Nantahala Village Restaurant. Met Sir Fix-A-Lot and Blue Sky today.
