346.3 down, 1837.6 to go
After a hearty breakfast of pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes, we got going with Floss. It was a quick five miles to Mizpah Hut. Floss started back up during our break to meet up with a friend at the next road. Wonder when we will see him again.
We passed a mountain originally named Pierce, but was renamed Clinton...what? We climbed up a hill to Ethan Pond and met Mudslide, a flip-flopper. Near the end of the day, we were tired and the hill was wearing on us but chatting with Mudslide made the time pass quick. He hammocks, so would not be staying at Ethan Pond Shelter, a pay site. Since NotYet's name is Ethan, we had to stay at the shelter. We said goodbye to Mudslide, not sure if we'd see him again.
After we got to the shelter, our Sawyer Squeeze broke. It was attached to a water bottle and dropped. We'd had it a few days. Luckily, we were able to get some filtered water and a few drops of AquaMira to hold us over. We have iodine but sent back the tablets that remove the flavor, so are trying to avoid using it. We are still by a few huts as well, so able to fill up with potable water there.
