I got up early and hiked out to the parking lot by Bromley. It was an
easy hike today and went quickly.

I reached the Spruce Peak Shelter, the location where I camped on a
warmup trip in January. It was much different now. Where did all the
snow go?? It was a much quicker hike today though. What took me
45-60 minutes on snowshoes took me 10-15 minutes today. There are
apparently a few large rocks on the trail that I didn't know were
there in January.

At the Spruce Peak Shelter I stopped to read the log book and checked
back to January to see if I wrote anything when I last passed
through. I apparently didn't, but I did see an entry by my old Boy
Scout Troop. It looks like they were at the shelter mid-January and
built quincees (sp?) and everything.

My mom met me at the parking lot and I headed back to my parents'
house for a few days off. Now is a chance to fix any gear that I need
to before beginning on the final stage of the hike.
