Mile 1,852.9
Elevation 3,929.0 feet
Miles Hiked 9.3
I left the campsite just after 7:00 AM. The goal for today is to make it to the next campsite, but more important, go to the AMC Highland Center to eat. After hiking three miles, I hitchhiked and was picked up by a well known trail angel. I did arrive at the Center about 9:30 AM. I went directly to the cafeteria and dropped a stack of everything they had on a plate and ate. A good deal for $14.
While at the Center, I dumped garbage and made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to finish off those items in my food bag. I met a couple of guys there who had been hiking in the same area as me. They offered a ride back to the trail, so that worked out well.
The rest of the day was spent getting to the night’s campsite. There were the usual rock scrambles, but the trail wasn’t all that hard. I arrived just after 5:00 PM.
There is a hut by the campsite, so I went in and got a free bowl of soup and a tea. Then I ate the PB&J I made earlier in the day. Not a bad day.
