| Fireplace in a shelter. |
Today we walked about 11 miles, 5 of them uphill and 6 of them downhill. It was yet another beautiful day, and we passed lots of other hikers on the trail. We spent the first 5 miles climbing a mountain, only to discover that the AT didn't go to the actual summit and there was no nice view to enjoy at the top. I prefer my long climbs with a rewarding view at the top. But it was cool and breezy and sunny and a great day to be in the woods. We passed a couple of very neat old shelters, one with a fireplace built into it and one with a stone (rather than dirt) floor that must've been built decades ago. Always something interesting to see on the AT.
