Day 111

Weather:
Rain/thunderstorms

Today's Hike:
Camping to 501 Shelter - 17.5 miles

It started thunder storming at 6:00am this morning, so we were trapped in our tents until 10:00am. We finally crawled out into the drizzling rain, took down the tent, and began our nearly 18 mile hike. The rain continued all day long. In a way it may have been a blessing given the gauntlet of poison ivy we trekked through for several miles. The rain kept our legs wet enough to keep the ivy oil and the ticks off.

We reached the shelter around 8:00pm, and discovered that we could order pizza. By 8:30 ourselves, the Packadivas, Liefy, and McBride were devouring four large cheese pizzas. A great way to end a slightly less then perfect day :)
