2014/5/10 Mile 668.5
The blogger app lost this post so I'm trying to backfill but my memory is rusty.
Slept well on the top bunk and got a reasonable start. Hiked on my own but planned to meet everyone at the shelter that evening.
Rain started about an hour into the hike and went on and off all day. Luckily it was warm enough that being wet wasn't miserable.
Stopped at a shelter for lunch and met Category 5, one of three engineers hiking together that I had heard were just ahead of me. Chatted briefly before he took off.
Rolled into camp early and hung out. Privy was more pungent than usual resulting in a sour whiff every time the wind blew just the right way.
Rain had stopped but I decided to stay in the shelter just in case. Many folks opted to camp which was surprising after a wet day.
Got to bed early and was thankful for ear plugs because others stayed up talking. Dreams of the hiker feed all night long...
