Weather:
Sunny. High in lower 70's.
Today's Hike:
501 Shelter to Eagles Nest Shelter - 15.1 miles
We ate a wonderful breakfast at Scholl's Diner this morning then hiked a wet and rocky 15.1 miles to the shelter. During one of my breaks I set my pack on a rock and when I went to pick it up Grommet and I caught site of a baby rattle snake that had made its may under my pack and was chilling in my croc. Yikes!
After recovering my pack I continued northward. The day was sunny but half of the trail was flooded. I found myself looking for cotton mouths with every wet step. Force of habit for this Florida girl :)
We're tenting at the shelter with the Packadivas, Liefy, and McBride.
