Don't worry, I'm not still sitting at the gas station.
I called some hotels in the area, and rooms were limited. I also found a campground that was up the hill a ways, about 16 miles from me. Since it was already 7:30, I figured it was time to hit the road. And hard!
So I headed out into the rain. It wasn't pleasant, but I made it into Marion. I have been fairly conservative with sunset times, so a 8:45-9:00 arrival worried me. Passing through town I saw a church with people inside. Long story short, I am camping in their back yard.
Tomorrow I climb just about a vertical mile to the top of Mt Mitchell. I am not afraid of this climb. But I also shouldn't mock it or it may get angry at me.
