Weather:
Overcast and humid. High around 78 degrees. Evening thunderstorm.
Today's Hike:
Rocky Run Shelter to Ensign Cowall Shelter- 15.7 miles
Today is the day that wouldn't end. Need we say more? The hike itself was fairly easy but none of us got much sleep last night making the day way more difficult then it needed to be.
We hiked to the Washington Monument State Park by early afternoon and took a long lunch break at the monument in hopes of regaining some energy. Around mid-afternoon we received some trail magic (sodas and fresh fruit) from 357 Magnum (thru-hiker in 2007) and his friends. I saved my apple for a pre-dinner snack and it was the best apple ever! After walking over miles of rocks we finally made it to the shelter where we were given another can of orange soda - yummy.
It's thunder storming outside right now, and I’m turning in early. Hope it's dry tomorrow!
