Wednesday, 5\/20<\/p>\n
AT Miles = 14.4 \/ 825.5
Other Miles = 0.2 \/ 31.1
Total Miles = 14.6 \/ 856.6<\/p>\n
Today was a short day at only a bit over 14 miles. Just like short
weeks at work, short days on the trail often seem to last forever.<\/p>\n
The views from Spy Rock in the morning were fabulous, then I dug in to
climb The Priest, which seems a strange name for a mountain. I stopped
at The Priest Shelter on the way up to do some of my laundry and to
eat lunch. After lunch I finished the climb up and then was faced with
four miles of steep downhill coming down the other side. Oh, my aching
feet!<\/p>\n
I did see a deer at one of the switchbacks on the way down, and she
stood still long enough for me to take several photos. That was pretty
cool.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day I crossed the Tye River and climbed a thousand
feet in two miles to get to Harpers Creek and the Harpers Creek
Shelter. Since I had stretched my food supply out from 4 days to 7
days, all I had left for dinner tonight is some cashews and raisins,
and a foil pack of tuna. Yummy! I saved a half a bowl of granola and
one granola bar for tomorrow. That should get me the 8 miles to where
Jodi is meeting me, then it will be into town where I can eat all I
want!<\/p>\n
