Day 5, July 4, 10 miles
Who made this stinking mess? It was by a bog, so I’m guessing it’s a moose, but not sure. Any ideas? At first, I thought, “Wow, that’s a big deer,” but I’m thinking moose.
The hike started out great. I even said to myself, “Wow. I might get to walk with dry feet today.” Well—no such luck. After two hours, the rain started. It started sprinkling so I stopped and put my pack cover on. Within 20 minutes, it was a deluge. Not gonna say the M word, but my feet will never be the same.
I had planned a much longer day, but I took refuge in a shelter to get out of the freezing cold rain to try to wait it out. The rain continued until
after 8 pm, so needless to say I stayed in the shelter–yuk. I don’t like shelters. Some older fellow, trail name “What’s the Rush” and I were the only ones there for a couple of hours and then one-by-one, people started showing up until we had a full (7 people) shelter. One of the many reasons I don’t like shelters is all the snoring that goes on. It was ridiculous!!!! How do these people sleep through their own snoring. It would hurt your ears it reached such high decibels. Only the dead could know peace from such cacophony.
So–my July 4th was spent in the rain in the shelter. All’s well.
Shout out to Danny, Nathan and Seth for running the Peachtree Road Race.
