Day 56 - Daleville to Fullhardt Shelter

Slept pretty well, but the pillow was too puffy. Poor me (just kidding). We finally got the stench out of the room by leaving the door open and turning on the fan.

Went down to the breakfast buffet. It was a good one – cereal, toast, bagels, donuts, bananas, yogurt. Naturally, I ate my fill.

Went to the local outfitter and supermarket. I pretty much resupplied out of the hiker box with freeze-dried meals someone obviously spent a great deal of time preparing. Left around 1:30 to do 11 miles to the second shelter.


The sky started getting darker, and Dave proposed stopping at the five-mile shelter, since the other might be full. But when we got here, the sun started shining again. Alas, motivation had already been lost. 

Thunderstorm set in around 7:30. We’re in the shelter with Vitamin and Dungeon Master. Both are nice.

Oh, on the trail today we saw 39 caterpillars walking in a continuous line. It looked like a fuzzy rope til I noticed it was moving. Definitely one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen.

To bed early, I think.
