July 1 It was a beautiful day today, 94 degrees and pure sun. Most of the trail has been shaded so it was tolerable. I’ve found my hiking legs so I’m not quite as sore every wear. Gram, we decided that since you’ve read Bryson’s book, you are now an honorary soggy shoe hiker! Welcome to the club. :)When we arrived at the shelter we found Backpacker and Jack. We spent an enjoyable evening listening to Backpacker and Castaway (dad) taking turns playing backpacker’s guitar and singing songs. Later on three more hikers joined the group. Lots of laughing and joking around finished out the evening. Looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight.
You have to tell us how many miles you are hiking each day so we can cheer (or jeer) you on! 😉
thanks a lot! I go bare foot most of the time; no soggy shoes for me.
