Shannon: We had a little rain storm last night but we were cozy in the shelter to no harm done. The hike today was longer than we realized, around 15 miles. It felt fine though. We hiked 5 easy miles to the 501 shelter where we took showers, did laundry and chatted with the caretakers. 501 was lovely, like a real cabin. Next we hiked past some scouts and ended up meeting up with them for lunch. As we started up again, the thunder and rain threatned so we should have camped early but as i was determined to get the extra mile we got drenched. Bummer. Of course it stopped raining the second the tent was all set up.
Campsite in Black Swatara Spring, note the pitiful footprint over the top.
