Wow . . . this was a good day for a few reasons . . . only 14.1 miles to hike and tomorrow night will bring real food, a shower and packages from home! It was definately a good hiking day. The most notable thing to report was that there were no other hikers on the trail.
However, when they reached Rock Spring shelter they had some company of the winged variety . . . gnats! Yes, they had to share their sleeping space with gnawing critters . . . yuk!!! (When should you re-evaluate your choice to hike . . . when you get blisters, when your water pump breaks or when you are sleeping with bugs . . . apparently those are questions that non-hikers ask . . . real hikers just accept the inevitable and go on! They must be real hikers!!!)
The weather continues to be hot, high 80° range, with high humidity. At night, the temperatures cool off to the low 60s.
14.1 miles today – 65.3 miles completed
