11 May. Brink Rd. Shelter

Coldest night yet, 28.  Partly sunny in am but clouds came bringing rain now (6:30). 

We saw the first deer of the hike (hard to believe).  Klipspringer saw a bear today.  He and Farmer (pronounced Fa-mah in Maine) are in the shelter tonight.   We are all in our bags before 7:00 because it is cold and starting to rain.  New Jersey is known for having an active bear population.

It was cold but OK for hiking.  There were some rocks but also some beautiful sections of trail. 

There has been no data connection all day and problems with the GPS.  I think I got a position registered but I'm not sure.  I will get one and send this tomorrow.

Another hiker just arrived making 5 in here - all this shelter can handle.   He says 3 more are coming.   This is the second batch of thru-hikers who started in GA and are doing big miles.
