Weather:
Afternoon and evening thunderstorms.
Today's Hike:
Crawfish Valley to Spring Fed Pond Campsite - 14.9 miles
It started thundering around noon today. We hung around Knot Maul Branch Shelter with the Packadivas for about 2 hours hoping the storm would pass. At 2:30 the thunder was still persistent, but there was no rain so we all decided to push on. Four hours later the rain started. After a steep climb up Chestnut Knob, we arrived at the campsite at 7:30pm. The rain was starting to come down pretty hard. We thought the rain would get worse instead of better, so for the first time we had to set the tent up in the rain. Disastrous. Everything was soaked, and Muster was pissed! As luck would have it, he rain stopped about 15 minutes after we had set up and gotten in. Ugh. Lesson learned - if its raining wait until it stops.
