18 miles today! By lunch time they had done three very hard uphill climb in about eight miles. They felt they were making good time, but were already pooped! The temperatures were in the high 80s and the humidity was high. By the time that they reached the cabin in the afternoon they were worn out! It took them about 30 minutes to catch their breath before starting their normal evening routine . . . getting water, eating and relaxing.
FYI - Dale and Ben are very thorough when they plan these hikes. They said the cabin worked well with their itinerary. Dale made the reservations for Pocosin cabin before they left. They didn’t say what they thought they were getting, but it sounded like it was more than they got. By their account the cabin was, “a shelter with a door.” Shall we say that the accommodations were rustic?!?!?!?!?
