🌜Primitive camping near James Fry

We planned to go to the James Fry Shelter but there some strange dynamics there (overprotective mom and kids, know it all hiker man) so we decided to camp nearby instead.

Today we interacted with a solo hiker from Kentucky named E.T. Who had been on trail since January 🥶 He seems pretty funny.

Passed the markers for 1100 miles and the 2025 Halfway point! Also some folks participated in the “half gallon challenge “ where you eat half a gallon of ice cream in a single sitting. The ambition was noteworthy. Everyone bought lunch in addition to the ice cream but E.T. Was the only person who ate it all (ice cream and burger/fries). It took him 2.5 hours. 🤩

We hikes 17 miles in the morning to get to the store on time and then a few more to the campground: 24.5 miles covered today- a lot of easy terrain that was fun.

Someday I want more info on the Milesburn Cabin- it looks like a fun place to rent out here.
