14 July - Imp Shelter

Rain, upper 60s. More rain tonight.

Another hard day.  We hiked almost eight miles - It took us about eight hours.  Ridiculously slow.   The trail is so steep and I am so tired of wet rocks and wet roots.  We all fell today.  I fell twice.

It is raining now and and there is thunder near.  So nice to be in a shelter with three walls and a roof.  This is another AMC pay shelter.  It costs $8/person to stay here.  There are four others here: two older men who have been section hiking for many years and two young guys just out who are hiking the Presidentials.

Eight miles tomorrow and we get to town.  It will be our last day in the Whites.  We will take a well earned zero day.
