Nov 12 – Into Collins Shelter

November 12, 2011 by Beardoh

Cold last night, and it was hard to get out of the sleeping bag. Started with multiple layers of clothes and wore them for a few hours.

Lots of good views and ridge walking today. A couple of the pictures that we’ll post are from the morning sunrise hour, with one facing the East and one facing the West….very different colors.

Tons of day hikers today…maybe the most we have ever encountered on the trail. There were also a lot of slick spots with ice on the trail. Walked for a bit with Sensei and Goldfish, which was nice as we typically don’t walk with other hikers during the day.

Very full shelter tonight, with some tenting outside.

Tonight we are sleeping at the 200.2 mile mark (from the end).

Daily Distance: 20.3
Trip Distance: 1,979.8
