It rained last night at the Graymoor Spiritual Life Center so I packed up a wet tent again.  After breakfast, I was on my way by 8:00 AM.

This was shaping up to be a grueling day.  I needed to get to the RPH Shelter to stay on schedule for a planned provisions pickup in a few days.  Also, it was supposed to rain again.

The ongoing problem with my feet didn’t make things any easier, but I was able to make the shelter right before dark.  It was 8:00 PM. 

The only other person at the shelter was an older woman, which was a pleasant surprise.  I expected the shelter to be full.  I grabbed one of the six bunks and setup.  This use to be a one room house.  The maintaining club knocked out a wall to open it up and now calls it a shelter.  For a shelter it was pretty nice.
