28 April (Wed) Eckville Shelter

COLD!!!  Close to freezing overnight and it might have gotten to 50 briefly when the sun came out but mostly cloudy, windy, and cold all day.  There were several brief snow/sleet showers too. 

Hiked 9.5 miles to a nice shelter that has a caretaker in a house nearby.  It is fully enclosed with bunks and water from a spigot outside.  There is separate building for the bathroom with a solar shower.  It is good that the shelter is fully enclosed because tonight it is supposed to be 32 in town with a frost warning.

Sharing the shelter with the Vacationers again, Don and Kat from Fla.  They celebrated 1900 miles today.  They still need to do Shenandoah Nat. Park so we may see them again next year. 

We were at the Pulpit and at the Pinnacle.  The Buzzards put on a great show.
