Saw
another deer in the morning. I’m really glad we stayed where we did.
Did an easy seven miles to the road, and a man picked us up right away
and took us to the Wildwood Campground.
Murph, Charlie, Stray, Honkey, and Ebb were already here – along with Dude (formerly Duracell and Stretch) and his girlfriend and Bean. It’s a nice place. Most of us are staying in a room above the store. The sun has been out, and there are a lot of people here to celebrate Memorial Day.

Getting
the usual chores done – laundry, food shopping, phone calls. Forgot to
mention all the gypsy moth caterpillar destruction along that last
section of trail. Every leaf you looked at had a caterpillar on it, and
you could hear the collective sound of all of them munching.
We decided to have our own cookout rather than going out to eat. As usual, Dave volunteered to do the shopping. I foolishly forgot to tell him to buy some earplugs and held out little hope that he’d remember. But lo and behold, he did. I gave him a huge wrap-around hug, which I guess I haven’t done in a while. I was so happy.
He also bought peanut butter with Nestle Crunch pieces mixed in. That made me happy, too. Now he says he knows the trick to getting a big hug – earplugs and peanut butter.
Cookout was good. Mother Hen and her mother joined us. I ate two fake chicken patties and a hot dog.
Dave and I got the bed, since there wasn’t another couple. And I had one of those nights where my heart won’t stop racing. Was it because there were so many people in the room? Nervousness about the next day's climb? I really don’t know.
Woke up to grey skies and rain. Really hard to get out of bed, but someone said it was supposed to clear.
