March 30 Thursday
Miles today 7.1
Total miles 50!
Low gap shelter to blue mtn ridge
Today we did a shorter day of only about 7 miles but we made pretty good time. Terrain wasn't too bad which helped getting the miles in and getting to camp around lunch time. We had planned to stay at this campsite because some nasty weather was going to roll in around 3 and get worse at 7 so we had planned to hunker down and wait it out. Luckily the weather held out this afternoon and we got to put in some miles and still have a good amount of rest today. It started raining around 8ish and then continued to get worse thru the night. Full on lighting, thunder and heavy winds. At several points wind pushed our tent walls over on top of our heads. We were camped on the top of blue mtn so we were hardly protected haha. But we are still here and luckily our gear held together and we didn't get too wet :-).
We have been meeting folks and making some trail friends so that has been fun :-). It's sort of crazy we're all doing the same thing, going up and down the same challenges and showing up in the same place at night.
