5/28/12 – 613 miles
Today was another hot one. It’s a good thing the trail is mostly in the woods, to be out in sun hiking would be unbearable. There were long stretches without any streams or springs so we have to be careful to carry extra water. I met a family hiking last night that had run out and were still miles from the next source. I offered some of mine but they wouldn’t take it.
I’m beginning to see more hikers. There are about ten people at the shelter where I’m camped, a lot different and enjoyable than being all alone.
