Day 73 -19 miles today from Whiskey Hollowleter to Bears Den Hostel, 4,600 feet up to 4,600 feet down, total 1,080 to miles
Path legs
Yesterday I arrived quite early to the shelter after walking 15 miles. I felt very good to walk 15 miles in approximately six hours. I feel that I am receiving some paths of paths.
I was alone in the very good shelter for an hour or more and then other hikers began to enter. I met some big young people. Drsilvercrotch (Wiz Financial) was traveling with macaroni with cheese. They were the most charming 20 -year -old children and I was glad to have spent some time with them yesterday.
Button whom I have not seen from the Estanimales also arrived. Some other people were close to campaign.
Wet dreams
I went to bed before everyone else as usual and I quickly fell asleep. I decided to sleep on the socks of wet paths to see if they would dry out of my body’s heat during the night.
While they dried mainly, I ended up with a skin eruption. So I will change in any dry clothes I have when I sleep from now on. I will only put my wet clothes in the morning.
I was mostly wet all night. It was great and I slept well, I woke up as the birds did at 5:00 am and took my time preparing on the path a little before 7:00 am this morning.
Silk burning the jungle
I ate a cold soaked oatmeal and my protein and coffee shake. Then stop thinking about a herbal medicine before reaching the road.
I am burning silk this morning because I am the first to leave. Silk Blazing is catching all the nets of spiders throughout the path from last night. They continued to tickle them in the nose while capturing them on my face.
In the jungle
This section of the path for quite some time has been bordered by extremely large trees for many miles now.
It is still a wet morning and the path is quite covered.
It is not a well -busy path section. However, there is also a lot of mud of yesterday’s heavy rain that we have to walk. I will soon reach the roller coaster.
The path wandered in a jungle and when the sun began to shine, it became bustling. The path was still wet and slippery and very covered. Periodically, large streams or trees would break the monotony.
Bolus for snakes
The growth was so dense in the advantage of the paths that I spent all my time looking at the path and periphery of the path looking for a snake. When I approached the Rod Hollow shelter, I noticed fresh bear traces in the mud.
On the head of the continuous roar of the planes when they approached Washington DC. I broke the bird song that I heard in the forest. With my headphones in the roaring of the jets they continued to deceive me to think that an unpleasant storm was approaching.
When I approached the Russian mountain, I distracted me a little walking on the easy tables of the many maritime walks through the swampy areas. I was looking at my phone and walking in a zombie state when Bam!
And then there it was! Among the boards on the many maritime walks when I stepped on was a snake. I almost stepped on it. The snake was rolled and looking at me.
I am quite sure that it was not poisonous, but I gave him a squeak like a girl. We look briefly before he returned to the ride and quickly slide to the dense weed of wood.
roller coaster
When I arrived at the Drsilvercrotch roller coaster and macaroni appeared with cheese and obtained a photo. The forest opened in open forests without dense and swampy weed. It was a good landscape change.
Rain again
After the first hill of the Russian mountain, he began to rain heavy again. I stopped, I took the cover of my package and covered my package. I leaned my package against a tree and then obtained my food bag.
The rain was soaking me, so I sat down and tried to create a roof with my body to prepare a meal. I used my last remaining Greek whistle, which was a heavy hauling, but a good change in burritos wrappers.
I added a little sezonated tuna fish, a pair of mayonnaise packages and sprinkled in the remaining fried cheese of Chile to creak. The sandwich barely remained united as he ate it with spilled rain. The heavy fallen fallen caused the pita to crumble while ate. Instead of getting angry, I had to laugh at my current situation.
Wet for days
I was soaked, but I felt good that the cold rain spilled in my body after hours of walking with sweat. He also kept the mosquitoes on my face while ate.
In the rain I still cueha, then I went to the second Russian mountain, which was also a hard climb. I am very happy that Knockers does not have to do the roller coaster with me. This would have really been painful for her and her hip.
I will walk 1,000 miles
Up and down and then I arrived at a sign that said Springer Mountain 1,000 miles! I did not see any hiker make signs like the last hundred miles to the manufacturers of an official official signal.
It didn’t take me for a long time to wait for this walk in the Russian mountain. We simply keep up and then back down and up and then go back. Most of the UP was steep perhaps a thousand feet per mile for 3/10 of mile. And some of the casualties were similar.
Hitting the wall
There were 3 miles to Bears hostel they gave when he started hitting the wall. I slowed the speed of my previous rhythm. He also stopped rainy and was hot and crooked again like a steam sauna.
When I reached a curve, I heard the distant flow of interstate traffic. It sounded like a river of brave waters or waves that crashed on a beach. I was really running out and I began to feel dizzy. It was not dehydration, just exhaustion.
While he continued to approach that path more and more, the path had his final climb at night. Another brutal climb. He began to rain again in the last quarter of mile to the hostel of the Bears Den, where I limited inside a stunned stupor.
