Today has been a great day of hiking! I started off the day with a great view since we camped next to it that night before. It was kind of our first hiking day without rain or waking up in a cloud. It was really nice having a dry day, however it did turn out that without the rain it was a lot hotter out. We did a 23 mile day today with some pretty steep hills but pished it all yhe way. The last 6 miles or so were really beautiful, all along a ridgeline with a view most of the way.
We are going to really have to push it to get to our goal of meeting up to hike with everyone on the 1st of June. We will probably have to hike 23 mile days everyday to get there. Its going to really take some convincing on my part to get Dayglow and Son to push the mileage but I think I'll be able to get the to stick around.
I am thinking that instead of the staying at the priest shelter Thursday night and hiking with everyone the next day we will probably make it to the spy rock campsite and hike out from there. It will probably be nicer since I am hoping for a big group and it will also mean we wont have to hike 29 miles the day before to get there. Well I am really excited to see everyone, make sure to break out and break in your hiking boots soon!

Robert and I (Dianni) are following your progress eagerly awaiting each post. As you probably know, it is one of Robert's lifetime dreams to hike the trail. He has never gotten to do it because he didn't take the opportunity while he was footloose and fancy free. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd unfortunately we will be unable to join you at the hovel because he is having cataract surgery on June 6. We are very disappointed but are enjoying your adventure vicariously!
