Two more beautiful days - hi 70s except Wendy's thermometer read 86. Too hot. In any case, 87 is the forecast for the next 2 days, then rain and much cooler at night (40).
Stayed at Annapolis Rocks last night. Everyone raved about the view but looked like one of many views from a Skyline Drive overlook. We hiked 9.6 mi. I am starting to have some problems: mild blisters bruised shoulders and hips. We have 2 low mileage days coming so that is good.
Met Pancho and Lefty, two early 20s brothers from PA. They live near the half way point of the AT. They are hiking to GA this year and ME next year. We talked about heavy packs. I tried to explain that did not need their machete and axe but they are young and strong and value them too much.
Today we are at Ens. Cowall Shelter. Many fewer people hiking AND we have the shelter all to ourselves. Plan to get up and out early and go to next shelter (only 5 mi.) before noon before it get hot.
