2000 miles to go!

Mike: that guy thinks that we should put our toothbrush in our bear bag too.

Zan: isn't that a bit over the top?

Mike: i don't think so. What if the bear wants to brush his teeth after tea?

We've had trouble finding internet access to check our comments and update, but thought we'd do a quick update from the mobile phone. We've walked about eight percent of the trail - Only 2000 miles left! We've walked through three different states and we're currently dodging the american wildlife on the north carolina/ tennessee border in the smoky mountains. There's supposedly one bear for every two miles in the smokies. It'll probably be about 10 days before we can do a full update or check comments.
