No rain this morning on us but rain nearby. Warm, low 80s in the sun. Clearing and cooler this evening. Wendy is sleeping in heavyweight long underwear, wool socks, Under Armor shirt, polar fleece top, all in her 20° sleeping bag.
Left Hanover and climbed all day - mostly gradual. Made good time. Got here before 3:00 and took a nap. My legs were very sore, knees, hips, and shin. All is better for now.
This is a nice shelter; it even has a bit of a view. The privy is unique. I have seen a "box over a hole" privy before. This is a composting privy - a small box with a toilet seat over a bigger box for composting. But this also has four large posts supporting a roof - no walls though.
On our way to the White Mountains. "Still living the dream" as a trail angel reminded me. He is a painter but would really rather be out here hiking.
