Five Guys Burgers & Fries

After a 13 mile day, Rob (Bigby) made it to the Old Cheese Factory site - 54 miles from Springer Mountain. It was COLD last night (22 degrees, and his extra fleece was one of the items sent home to lighten the pack...) But the sleeping bag is "fantastic" and the new pack is "really nice." He is hiking with "Big Shanty" from Georgia, "Bytecode" (formerly "Cargo") from Virginia, and two hikers from Saratoga Springs - "Little Spoon" and "Mousewheel". They are "Five Guys, Burgers and Fries" - named for the D.C. burger chain whose meals they dream of consuming! They should get to Hiawasee (town!) in about two days.

Rob's making good mileage for a nobo in GA. I want to hear the story behind that trailname!
