🌜 Knot Maul Branch Shelter

Woke up early and said “farewell” to shelter mate “GB”. He was quite a character. He was wearing his shoes on the wrong feet for over an hour and drinking a 4Loco for breakfast 😂. Give credit where due- I don’t always participate in group exercises but GB was eager and didn’t even put down his cigarette (Little Foot and Trickshot are doing sit ups and push ups 2-3 x daily- I join when I can)

Early in the day we hit two gas stations to “snack-up”and soon realized if we linger a little bit we could also get Mexican food for lunch at 11… so that became the new plan. For me lingering meant eating 4 crème-horns with a large coffee. I bought way too much stuff and then went to the next gas station and bought way too much again. Ridiculous.

Other highlights today- 1 room schoolhouse, hit the mile marker for 1/4 Northbound complete. Also a rainy day that played with us- no rain for hours, we would take off our gear and it would start again for 2 minutes so we would put jackets back on- then it wouldn’t rain again for hours.

Some beautiful terrain, particularly the cow pastures (although the ladders at each fence were not my fav)… 19.3 miles of hiking.
