Holy Rocks PA! We are done with you! Got my first blisters yesterday and today on the rocks was super painful. However, we did get a hiking buddy, Colonel Anges. We spent the night in the shelter and attempted an unsuccessful seach for pizza. Colonel Anges hiked with us today and will conitnue on with us tomorrow. Again, nice to have a buddy. He's really into Burning Man and has almost convinced me that we should go THIS YEAR. He's the second hiker I've met who is a big Burner. Ok. Back to today. The rocks were brutal-when they weren't just on the ground, they were massive boulders taht demanded lots of attention. Between the three of us I think we totalled 8 falls. The coolest part of the day was the "Knife's Edge" a ridge of rocks with drops on each side. Really cool. Really scary. Tonight we are joined with Rayo and Uno at the shelter. They are both hilarious-really fun duo. Happy to have them here.

Hi Shannon, your fellow A-Teamer Carrie here! I've just been catching up on your blog - it's really enjoyable to read and brings back memories of my 300km hike in Scotland last year. It sounds like, injuries aside, you're having a great time and meeting some wonderful people - it's things like talking to someone new when you're having a tough day that can really turn the day around. Don't worry if you end up having to take more rest days to avoid injuries developing; it's all part of the experience, and it's on those days something might happen that you never expected. Good luck for the days ahead, and keep up the great blog - it'll be really fun for you to read back over too when it's all over or when you're cursing those blisters!
