Day 16: 55 km Total – 638 km

Started the GAP trail (Great Alleghany Passage)

Big day uphill!!!!

First 4 hours was going up, up, and up – slight incline but constant (except for a tiny section of 50 metres the dipped…hehe)

We boxed on and finally got to the top – the Eastern Continental Divide

After that things became easier going down the other side and it should now be three days of slight downhill to Pittsburgh

Really nice scenery and quite shifting
