Day 2 2/13/2005 88 miles

Today started off nicely. I have become accustomed to the farm roads with few cars. Food is still my biggest nerve wrecker. I wish they made a pill that contained: meat loaf, mashed potatoes, and bread. It sure would solve the weight issue. How did Lewis & Clark do it? I'm in a civilized society and I still can't find food, especially something not fried or greasy. The hardest part of the day was the last 9 miles. I started out late this morning (around 10.30am) and finished right after 6pm, but the cars had already started using their lights. I don't like being under pressure at the end of the day, when you are tired, but I'm lazy in the morning. Arriving late was a common occurrence on the A.T., but I can't just sleep anywhere! I'm staying at the Satilla River Vacationland. It's $10 here to sleep on the ground (Hot showers and coin laundry).

The campground is on a soft sandy road 0.5 miles from the main road in Atkinson, GA. The campground is a place eric rudolph should of stayed. It's just scary here! The campground looks as if you were living in the 80s. There are tons of RVs here, all spread out, but none of them are new. Some are rusty and look like they were just dumped here, but the lights are on inside. I hope I make it out.
