Sam Moore Shelter - David Besser Shelter
Today was a short but long day. I remember when 15 miles felt huge, now it's considered an easier day. You'd think lack of motivation and fewer miles would go together well, but it makes it extra hard to get moving. I was able to "sleep in" until around 7:30am and didn't hit the trail until a little before 9am.
Right out of the fate it was more ups and downs on the Roller Coaster and I moved super slowly. Superman caught up with we hiked together for a bit until we ran into Turnbo and her 2 brothers (joining her for a section hike). We sat around for a bit and ate lunch, eventually we were joined by Botany and it was good to catch up with him.
After lunch, my motivation dwindled even further, and I basically crawled the last 8 miles to camp. Thankfully the Roller Coaster came to a close and the terrain got much easier.
I rolled into camp before 5pm and this is probably the nicest shelter so far! Because of the rain I forwent setting up my tent and am sleeping in the shelter (so far alone and hopefully it stays that way!) I ate dinner at the picnic area (complete with a porch swing!) with Superman, Turbo, her brothers, and a section hiker. Excited to chill with the parents this weekend!
