Day 29: Natchez Trace

Today was mile marker 300, Alabama, crazy weather, leap year day! Wowie!

We got an early start this morning for fear of the sky opening up on us. Although it did rain and quite windy all day, the weather held off during the most crucial moments of the day: breaking down camp, pumping water, setting up camp. We have gotten into quite hilly terrain and are currently camped on a bit of a slope - hopefully we can keep from sliding off our sleeping pads!

We crossed into a new state today! Hello, Alabama! We finished our walk across the entire state of Mississippi in less than a month, and we are excited to be in a new state! Alabama will last for only a short while though, and then comes Tennessee and the end of our walk here on the Natchez Trace.

Tomorrow we'll walk into the little town of Cherokee, AL for a grocery stop at the Piggly Wiggly. Tomorrow is also new sock day, hooray!
