Day 26 (5/16) - Zero, Day 27 (5/17) - on the road again

Day 26 - Zero miles in Hot Springs
Day 27 - 11.0 mi/283.7 mi tot - Hot Springs to Spring Mtn Shelter

The zero day was great and we definitely took care of our calorie defecit there with the aount of food we ate there. Another soak in the hot springs at night got us pretty much ready to go.

The hike today was easier than expected and we are spending the night at the Spring Mtn shelter with 5 other people (that is a total of 7 people in a shelter built for 5...amazing how much space you can find when rain is threatening). Our new tyvek groundsheet is coming in handy in the shelter to protect the sleeping pads.

Had a few rainstorms today and made the mistake of trying to weather the storm without our rain gear since it was warm but we should have put it on since the rain kept coming. Oh well, lesson learned and we won't screw that up again. We are dry in the shelter and will be dry when we get started tomorrow.

aiming to get into Erwin in 5 more days and into Damascus in about 2 weeks.

putting the miles behind us...
