Day 6: Glitter on the Trail

Ellen dropped us off in Wingdale where we picked up our food package and hit the trail. Only did about 5 miles - taking it easy. There is lots of mica on the trail which  made it look like there was glitter sprinkled on it. We have decided to throw our itenarary out the window and hike as much as our bodies feel like it. Freedom is nice.  We are staying at a shelter with about 6 thru hikers including "Happy Pappy" and "Tippy Toes". We filtered some water and set up the tent. Mac and cheese for dinner. Playing some rummy (on a bandana so they dont fall in the cracks of the platform) chad=410, val=215...wonder who will win!

  1. You can't call it the greatest comeback of all time unless you're behind by a lot to begin with. And good call on ditching the itinerary. Plans are for suckers!

  2. Glad you're back on the trail and all rested up! Did you post the sites where you have sent food packages??

    LOVE YOU,
