Miles: ~13
Total: ~165.3
Shannon: The hike today was pretty great. A NOBO slowed down a bit and hikes with us. "Peep Show" is his trail name. He had a great story about how hiking the AT got him a promotion. Originally his boss siad he couldn't hold his job for him. Then, when it was obvious he was going anyway, his boss begged him to come back and offered him a promotion. HA!
The terrain today was fun-the initial climb was hellish but it was smooth sailing after that. We didn't have many landmarks to check mileage so we were going by our pace-2 MPH but ended up at the shelter an hour early! We were cruisin!
Jamie: Toughest day for my so far. That climb we did was pretty crazy-straight up with no switchbacks (sounds like a hiker's drink: Bacardi, 151 and yellow gatorade mix maybe?)
We are sort of filled with dread over todays prospect of PA's finest skree, rocks, pebbles and boulders. YAY!
