More extreme heat today. Its is almost 100 today and that is before the heat index. I am feeling pretty warn down. I was planning on going all the way into Dalton today, but I could just not get enough motivation together to go all the way. I got a nice early start but by 10:30 it was already over 90 and by 12 it was over 95. There was a slight breeze at least today and I took a long break in a nice pine forest and fell asleep for over an hour! I made it to the Washington Mt. road crossing and headed over to an AT legend, the 'Cookie Lady'. The cookie lady was not there, but Mr. Cookie Lady was. I bought a few sodas and was treated to some free homemade chocolate chip cookies. I was hoping the break would pick me up, but when I got back to the trail I decided to find a nice camp spot and call it a day. I will do a short day into Dalton tomorrow and spend another night out of the heat. The weather is predicted to break this weekend.
