Day 33: Erwin, TN

Our makeshift rainfly worked very well in the night. It was supposed to rain all day today, but the sun actually peeked out in the morning, so we waited as long as possible for our gear to dry out before packing up. We only got a few sprinkles during the day, and we hiked 13.3 miles into Erwin. There was a weekend hiker bash here, and we were lucky that there was a rep from Big Agnes still here who was able to give our tent some temporary seal work to get us to Trail Days in Damascus, where there will be more room and supplies and reps to repair it fully. We got a ride into town for a room and dinner from a local trail angel, and hopefully we’ll get a ride back out with her tomorrow as well.
