Tough day out there today. 12.9 miles - with 2 substantial climbs and a ton of technical downhill. I got to the parking area about 15 minutes after Chickweed and Cambyr. We grabbed a shuttle together into Grest Barrington.

I was exhausted upon arrival and slept a couple hours after a shower. It rained most of the afternoon so I did my chores between rain events. I had to go to a laundromat - no laundry facility here at the Days Inn.

I got my resupply box with my new shoes - very happy about this!  I bought a bunch of stuff to treat my feet. Hopefully I can keep from getting an infection.

Still really tired and not feeling it today. I’m just going to sleep and cut my losses - I’ll see how I feel in the morning and make the call on the hike.

Have a good night.
