6/18/12 – 921 miles
It was a real short mileage day today. On a whim I decided to stay in the shelter last night and it turned out to be a good idea. During the night it rained and I was able to pack up under the protection of a roof. Blue Sky and I thought that if we could get up early and hike 8 miles to Big Meadows wayside, we would be there in time for breakfast. Blue Sky left a little before me but I caught him in the first hour. What makes this hike different and displays the lengths a thruhiker will go to for food is that it was pouring rain the whole way there. We didn’t care, we were hungry for eggs and sausage and French toast. It was a good thing we made it in time. We both had two breakfasts.
Only an 8 mile hike before breakfast? I can’t understand why you were hungry….
Your blogs are starting to have a common thread….food, food, food. I’m actually hoping you DON’T see a bear, because you’d probably eat him!! Poor bears.
