Stops: Peters Mountain Shelter
Shannon: I really love the ankle brace! It feels so good to walk in and is really comfortable.
Last night we met a girl at the shelter. Eleanor. She's hiking PA to Maine. Our pace is similar so we hiked with her today and will again tomorrow. It's fun to have a hiking buddy. She's 30 and lives and worlds on a farm in South Carolina with her boyfriend. She's also really knowledgeable about plants so it's been fun to hike with her and Jamie. It's like my own personal nature walk.
Jamie: Started off super foggy but the sun came up by mid-afternoon. Terrain was much improved as well. At Peters Mountain Shelter (huge, btw!) I felt like I was a Shaolin Monk in training. 300 stone steps to the springs. Tonight we had to camp becuase it was to far to the next shelter-we are pretty close to the trail but it's a nice spot. we are testing out using just our footprint and ruainfly to see if we can send the tent portion home. It isn't raining thought so not sure if it will be a good test or no.
