Nov 5 – Curly Maple Gap

November 5, 2011 by Beardoh

Got out in the predawn dark this morning. We weren’t the only ones up at 6am getting ready today.

Sweet Pea’s shoes have continued to give her pain so we tried to shim them using an old insole..it did not work out very well. She will be looking for some other footwear in Hot Springs.

Walked a more relaxed pace today since we got an early start and it was slightly less miles than the days before. The trail was quite good. We had some nice views from the Beauty Spot which was at the peak of our climb.

Warm weather with blue skies were very welcome today. Did not see a cloud the entire day.

Beardo made a fire at the campsite when we got in. The shelter is quite big and has plenty of space for all 9 of us who are here. We are continuing to walk with Buzz Lightyear, Easy, Sensei, Goldfish, and The Brothers Three. Wind is kicking up now that it is dark. It is plenty cool….we are very glad we have our winter sleeping bags with us.

Daily Distance: 22
Trip Distance: 1,835.8
