Brushy Creek Mountain Shelter

I reached the Brushy Creek Mountain Shelter at 4:00 p.m. . That gives me some time to do a few things before I make dinner and go to bed.

Foran Gap Shelter

I’m on my way to the Foran Gap Shelter. When planning, there were days that I intended to do as much as 18 miles. Now, I’ve decided to go shelter to shelter.

Queen Wilhelmina Lodge

I called the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge to see if they had any rooms available. Nothing. Nevertheless, I was going to head for the lodge anyway and get breakfast.

At the end of the day the trail went up 1,400 feet. So,I made it to the State Line shelter. I arrived while it was still light out.

Hiking

Pashubbe Shelter

I made it to the Pashubbe Shelter. That was the goal that I set yesterday, but wasn’t very optimistic that I would make it due to the condition of the trail.
