Day: 89, 7/18/2013: 501 Shelter

17.6 miles hiked, This shelter was great. You could order pizza and have it delievered and there was a shower. Another very hot day and lots of gnats constantly buzzing you and making suicide dives into your eyes and ears. The PA rocks have also started.  This picture shows the smaller rocks…it is deceptive, but you have to look directly down for hours at a time and step carefully.  Although smaller, these rocks are sharp and many of them stick up 4-6 inches which is just enough to twist your ankle if you are not careful.

Milestones: 1,200 miles
