15.8 miles today with a pack full of 7 days supply. I had to sleep in a shelter a couple nights back. I donot like sleeping on the ground or the floor blowup pad or not. The hotel last night was so bad it's not even worth the list of badness. There were a couple long uphill struggle and I slowed right down. The when j got on the flat I cruised right along. I started this morning at 0645 and ended 11 hours later at a camp sight that is really filling up fast I feel a little funny putting up a bear bag but there are a couple trees nearby that have recent scars from something a lot bigger than woodpeckers. I've seen about a dozen hikers go by headed north for a night hike. It's a long stretch between water holes and some of them are actually thinking they'd rather hike in the cool of the evening. I'm of the mind to get out of bed early and get the worst of it over before 1000. This hammocks so comfortable it's hard to roll out I've sort of found myself in a bubble where I am getting to know the 30 or so people hiking all around me. Yes these young bucks do night hikes and spring up hills but they also sleep in late and have to stop to get high a lot. That lets me catchup. I don't do those things and I don't know how they can. You see them smoke up and off they go.
