I broke free from town after breakfast today. Shlep caught back up,
but Dethmarch and Sugarbush were zeroing in town. So, I headed out and
was surprised that my heavy pack (just resupplied) wasn't too bad. My
legs felt good and my feet felt good. Spending the day off was
helpful, but I also got new insoles for my boots. The shoes feel like
new; I just have to ignore the holes in the sides.
I made it to Wilson Creek Shelter by late afternoon. There are a
bunch of people here tonight, mostly new faces. A number of people are
a day or so ahead. I might be able to catch them.
I saw a lot of female mosquitos today. That is not a good sign for the
coming days. I don't think it will be long before the unbearably
annoying swarms of mosquitos are out.
