Congdon Shelter campsite to stealth campsite - 10.1 miles hiked today - 1619.7 total AT miles hiked to date
No pictures today as I couldn’t get my camera to work in the daylong driving rain. Frustration is starting set in, as trail conditions again only allowed me to complete 10 miles before having to stop for the day. Nothing but rain and mud all day long, making both climbs and descents slippery and dangerous. My need to ensure I don’t take any chances with my wrist, means an average hiking pace of under 1 mile an hour, about 1/2 of what I can do when conditions are better. Although tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same rain, Saturday may bring a respite. Everything I own is now wet and I’m three days from the next opportunity to make a town stop. More than ever before, I can use your prayers.
On the plus side, I am supposed to meet back up with Pinot, Whipporwill and DEFCON tomorrow after hiking with Firewalker for the past two days. They had taken some time off the trail, but because of my low mileage week, they have caught up.
Until next time…
