Enjoying a fire...oops, didn't see the No Fire sign!
490.2 down, 1695.7 to go
We got a late start today. We did our work for stay from 9:00-11:00 am and had to wait for the bus, so didn't hit the trail until 2:00. NotYet enjoyed making beds with hospital corners. They seemed pretty impressed with his work! When we were packing up, the chef came up from the kitchen and knocked on our door. He had a fresh, hot loaf of sourdough raisin bread for us -- we welcomed the weight!
By the time we hit the trail, we were feeling pretty unmotivated so just did 5 miles to the nearest shelter. We calculated the amount of miles we will need to do a day to make it to Springer by December. When we first started, the average was 16. We calculated six zero days -- our anniversary, injuries, etc., and were surprised that our new average was around just 19 a day. Not bad, considering we will have some terrain soon where we will be able to do mid-twenties on flat ground. Awesome!
