AT Day 22 Eckville Shelter --> Bake Oven Knob Shelter

Miles: ~17
Total: ~234

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.
