Day: 43 Miles: 13.2 Trip: 404.8 Started: Elk Park Destination: 404.8
Well, not much to say about today except Rain! It was just a light drizzle early on and I had hopes that we might avoid the deluge that was scheduled for the late afternoon but that was not to be. By 2pm it was a full on down poor with lightning and thunder. Dreading the thought of setting up my tent in these conditions I stopped a bit early at the Vango/Abby Memorial Hostel. I was very glad to be out of the rain. It seems like most hikers stayed where they were that day to avoid the rain. Vango's is a nice place with a two story bunk house. M-80 and Trooper came in also and took the upstairs room. I ended up having the entire lower bunk house to myself and had the best nights sleep I have had in a long time. I wish I had pushed more miles but you cant beat a warm room when its raining so much. The forecast calls for good weather for the next four or five days and I hope that true! Only three days to VA! No pictures today, the camera was packed away all day.
