Day 10: 8/20/17

Tough day. The LT is not groomed or kept nearly as well as the AT. There are many blowdowns across the trail that you have to navigate around. There was only one hiker today going southbound We’re in camp at Sunrise Shelter. No one else is here. We set up tents. The shelter isn’t very appealing. The air is cool. I’ve eaten supper and I’m still hungry. I had a freeze-dried chicken lime rice meal. Then I had some salami and some veggie stick snacks. And lastly I had a piece of chocolate. I think I could eat a double of everything.

Supposedly the trail is about to give us some views. We’ll see. We’ve definitely been in the green tunnel for a while now. Also, it seems we have to earn those views. Apparently the terrain is about to get more challenging.

We’re going on day 6 without a shower. We’re both pretty ripe. We have 3 more days and then we’ll be staying at an Inn for the night for another resupply. Looking forward to getting there. We have a way to go.

I was very irritable today. I fell once. I’m fine, but it made me mad.

The end for now.
