Miles Today - 12.7
Location - Flint Mountain Shelter
Date - May 5
Cinco de Mayo! Huzzah? I'll pretend it didn't take me all day to realize. Or that it was relevant.
Today I was moving sluggishly on purpose, as I had only 13ish to do to let Rose catch up. So I woke up nice and late. 7:15. Aw yis. I even ate a Pop Tart sitting down. I was going by 7:45. Much slow. Very lazy. Wow.
The morning was a steep rock scramble, leading to some nice views. Later on I pulled myself up a hill and found myself in a park. A poorly kept, overgrown park. But still. I expected some guys to be tossing a Frisbee around, at 5000 feet.
I turned my phone on to take a picture and discovered I had reception. Sweet! My four bars lasted three minutes into my phone call before deciding not to transmit my voice anymore. I take reception where I can get it though, so no complaints.
First at the shelter, I filtered water and settled in to read. Giggles and the two British gentlemen showed up in the early afternoon. Squirrel and White Rabbit came in for dinner and moved on a few more miles to tent. Rose arrived hot off the heels of a "gnarly" 22 miler. All in all, a day best exemplified by a long yawn.
