Day 42 - Hurricane Campground to Partnership Shelter

Didn’t get up and out til 9:15, and we still had to walk the extra half-mile back to the trail. Nothing spectacular to look at, so the going was kind of slow.


I guess Stray Cat had left three jello puddings on the trail for Dave, Hummingbird, and myself, but we never saw them! Bumped into Murph and Charlie when we were taking a break in front of one of the shelters. Good to catch up with them. It turns out they were headed for the Partnership Shelter, too.

Made it here by 4:30. Beautiful, new shelter with a shower inside it and a visitor center with soda machine, restroom, and phone about 200 yards away. My first shower since Saturday afternoon (it’s Thursday). 

The highlight of this shelter is the fact that you can order pizza from the pay phone and have it delivered. Of course we ordered, the novelty of it all and everything was our excuse. And my Hawaiian pizza wasn’t even that good.

Ebb, Hummingbird, Longshanks, Duracell, Beano, Honkey, and Murph
It’s getting too dark to write, so I’ll end on this note – I could really use some private time with a mirror and a pair of tweezers.
