We decide in this discontinued shelter at 2:18 that we are going to push through the 11.8 miles to Damascus and sleep in a heated bunk room tonight. We have reached the conlusion that the warmest place to be is stomping along the trail. I'm still hiking in shorts but I'll keep my jacket and gloves and fleece hat on all day.! The wind is blowing still and everyso often we get a brief wetting with sleet. The trail is generally down hill and very well worn we average better than 3 miles per hour. We realize in Damascus that it would be a twenty mile day under any other circumstances. I'm thinking it was a very forgiving trail and I wouldn't want to keep up that pace all Day of any other section of trail I've seen.
