8.3 miles - 154.7 cumulative miles
I had a rough night last night. Kept hoping for morning but it never seemed to come. The bunks weren't too great for comfort. Got going in the morning quite late - didn't leave until 9:45 or so. Only 8 miles today, and we crossed all kinds of balds and fields and exposed mountain tops where the wind was blowing so hard that it almost blew us over. Had a hard time. But the views were great. It was a little hazy, but we could still see a long way. Hiked slow and easy most of the day, with a couple of long breaks. Met a guy who's hiking through the Smokies in 11 days. Real slow. Sort of inspired us to take it more easy and to stop rushing so [not that we were really rushing]. Ended up with 12 guys in the shelter last night. At least 10 tonight so far. Got a long hard hike tomorrow with lots of climbing. Had a Lipton chicken dinner tonight. Beef Strogonoff last night. We are not eating to poorly.
