Beginning Point: Hut
Ending Point: Hightop Hut
Daily Mileage: 21.4 Miles
Total Miles: 888.8 Miles
Weather: Hot and humid and drizzling rain intermittently throughout the day
Today was not a bad day... We left the hut around 9 and hiked a quick 7.5 miles to the Loft Mt. Campstore. There we purchased some sodas, fruit, a cup of coffee and some postcards. As we sat munching and writing, the rain began, but ended before we were done (thanks to sky gods).
We met Snatchy and Monk, some thru-hikers that we've been following in the shelter registers. They are hiking with a friend this week and taking it easy. Both are wearing chacos after starting out with heavy boots and said they now have happy feet, so I think I will purchase a pair the next opportunity I have.
We saw a total of 8 deer today, including a doe and her fawn. Bambi was very cute with his spots and youthful gait. Most of the deer in the park don't run when they see you, unfortunately,... mostly because they've been fed by people.
We continued on to the next hut for a rest break and met up with Tippy. He hadn't decided yet whether or not to continue to the next shelter (but he eventually decided to stay). My blisters were starting to act up, so we did a little road walking. It didn't cut any miles off, but the terrain was more gradual. I'm not sure if I want to road-walk tomorrow because hiking shoes aren't really meant for concrete.
We caught Prairie Home Companion on the radio (we each carry one) this afternoon so that helped to pass the time and distract me from my feet. We reached the shelter just after 8 this evening, so we had a long day. As we walked up, the ridgerunner, Q-tip, was in the process of building a nice fire for everyone to enjoy. He quizzed us on our Leave No Trace habits... and while I do a good job most of the time, the one thing I don't do is pack out my t.p. when I use the woods as my privy. I will make an effort to do better.
I'm excited to get to Harper's Ferry in the next few days. It's called the half-way point, but the real half-way point is in Pine Grove Furnace, PA. The tradition is to eat a half-gallon tub of ice-cream there. Soon enough, soon enough.

I am not one of those who think that the people are never in the wrong. They have been so, frequently and outrageously, both in other countries and in this. But I do say, that in all disputes between them and their rulers, the presumption is at least upon a par in favour of the people.

arising out of the Jihad include the Bene Gesserit, with their intense mental

safe path through foldspace, and the Mentats, whose computerlike minds are
capable of extraordinary acts of reasoning.

order paxil cheap paxilDear Emily, what about test messages?
-- Concerned
Dear Concerned:
It is important, when testing, to test the entire net. Never test
merely a subnet distribution when the whole net can be done. Also put "please
ignore" on your test messages, since we all know that everybody always skips
a message with a line like that. Don't use a subject like "My sex is female
but I demand to be addressed as male." because such articles are read in depth
by all USEnauts.
