In Georgia!

Well we made it to Georgia with no problems. We had some worry about our packs getting damaged in the flight. We ended up putting them in huge trash bags to protect them. Austin's pack came back with alot of holes in his trash bag, so it was a good thing we did it.
When we got in we had to take a train from the airport all the way across atlanta to where we were getting picked up. The train ride was long but exciting.
A guy named survivor dave picked us up (and gave us fuel for free!). He was really nice and helped us with alot of details. He dropped us off at the lodge at the bottom of springer mt where we are staying tonight and tomorrow we start our long climb to the top! The actual trail doesn't start till we get to the top of the mountain and we hear its a long hard climb.
Wish us luck! Off to the buffet for one last big meal!
