None of us were at 100% but we set off anyway after some McDonald’s.
We’d planned to make it further but a little over four miles is all we had in us. The high was in the low forties, it never stopped raining, and I was still dealing with diarrhea and dehydration. Overall it was a shitty (pun intended) day.
Prairie Dog grabbed a shuttle back to where he hopped off to make up the miles he missed. He pulled a long day and managed to catch up to us at the shelter. With the rain and lows in the 30’s we’re all packed in to the shelter, which probably isn’t a good idea so soon after the stomach bug going around. Hopefully we’re all resistant at this point.
I know my clothes and shoes will still be wet in the morning and that’s going to be unpleasant. These are the crappy days on the trail, gotta embrace the suck.
