Day 61

Trents Grocery – Docs Knob
Early morning rain wakes me up this morning. We walk over to the grocery store and get Trin and I breakfast and coffee. I break my camp site down and throw my tent in a dryer that is part of the Trent Grocery store. We have an easy hike to a spot to break and me and Trin head out pretty quickly. The flat terrain was a nice change, but the day is starting to heat up. Trin and I end up passing the same creek what I felt like 50 times, and I’m starting to get tired. I finally reach the shelter and throw my pack down and get Trin some water. Jukebox and his gang show up 20 minutes later and we all break. The heat of the day has gotten to us all and we all take a 30 minute nap in the shelter. My break last longer then the rest and I push out with Shutterbug an hour later. The rest of day is filled with a climb and Trin and take it slow so we don’t get over heated. I take a quick break and find that my ankle is killing me. I press on and the next 1.5 miles is filled with rocks and this aggitates the ankle even more. I hobble my way into the shelter and make dinner. All I can think of is rest when I will get in town tomorrow.
