We started hiking and it looked like rain. Stayed that way most of the morning without much rain. It was good hiking weather. Then it rained very hard but we were able to hide in a shelter for most of it. Then the skies cleared and it was sunny and beautiful with big puffy white clouds. Wendy commented on what a nice hike it had been given the terrible forecast. Then the rain returned, off and on at first and a hard rain later.
Overall it was a very pleasant hike as Wendy said. Trail conditions are improved (soil is better or has better drainage) although with the rain it became very muddy in a few places. We were a muddy mess at the end of the day. We hiked 12.7 miles today.
We are staying with Mark Shaw (Bad Influence when he through hiked). He has been doing the shuttles for us. It was great today to be able to hike knowing our packs were dry and we could get dry tonight.
