Rock Spring Hut to Pass Mountain Shelter

Nice day. We are getting spoiled here with a restaurant along the trail every day! It's nice not to have to carry so much food.

Above is my view early this morning. It's light by 5:30 so we usually get on the trail pretty early.

The trail here is great, but often times you feel like you are out in the middle of the woods and you hear a car go by about 50 yards from you. Skyline drive is never far away. Today was pretty uneventful. Hiked about 15 miles. Got in to the shelter around 6. Started a new book and for anyone looking for a good read..it's 'Grandma Gatewoods Walk'. The true story of the first woman to hike the AT back in 1955. Amazing story. And she did it in keds!!
