Whistling Gap Campsite 329.4

What a night. It felt like being directly in the clouds when the thunderstorm rolled over us and the rain was pouring down. It started at about 11 AM and lasted for a few hours. First of all, the tent did its job perfectly fine, just a bit of condensation in the morning.
And oh, what a beautiful morning with a stunning sunrise that could be seen directly from our tent. Then we managed to make some miles to the next Shelter and have a breakfast together with Blitz (a German guy who's incredibly fast) and C# (a musician from Florida). Our breakfast currently consists of a cold oatmeal (I just found and fell in love with the fruity tastes) and a pop tart. Soonish we'll add some breafast nutrition drinks and maybe instant coffee.
The main part of today's hike was getting up to "Big Bald" - a huge area on top of the hill is cleared from trees for whatever reasons... Recreation, cattle...
