5.6 miles hiked SOBO from Fontana Dam
I hiked in here starting about 2:45 or so and arrived at 5:15. It was a long climb and it’s hot again.
Hikers here are Pierre, Audrey (Pippi), Pittsburgh and Back-Track. I’ve pitched my tent and the site is a bit tilty. I will probably regret this at about 2am. It’s OK now, but a slanty shanty nonetheless.
My shuttler today, Jeff Hoch, was a really nice guy and I’m a little sorry I didn’t stay with them at some point (Hike Inn), but oh well. Jeff claims my cell will work at Yellow Creek Gap and I’ll be there in the morning. It will be a novelty to have that thing be anything but useless on this trip.
The 15 miles tomorrow look tought, but I do have all day to do it. There’s a lot of up and down — probably 3000 feet of climbing in all of those.
