Day 1 - Rain, Mud, and Hiking Post
I walked 30967 steps on the trail today.
I traveled about 10.7 miles today.
It really wasn't that bad today. We hit the trail at 1:30 and enjoyed about 5.5 hours on the trail while it sprinkled, showered, and eventually rained. Somewhere in there we did put on our rain gear and left it on most of the afternoon and evening. There's still water dropping from the trees but I think it's just leftover drops being dislodged by the wind. We reached our first camp spot early and decided to push on. The east lake Agnes site was full of tents so I walked the .3 miles to the west site while Martin watched our gear. There was more room so we moved there. We set up tents, got water, and made our meal. We visited with Scott and Jeff, but a couple ladies didn't come out of their tent at all - the weather wasn't that good. While chatting, i mentioned my site (of course) and Jeff already knew of it and used it. Cool! We built a soggy fire, sat around a bit more, and that was that. Now, it's time for lights out. Saw a lot of day hikers, 2 woodpeckers, 3 toads, 2 red squirrels, but nothing bigger. Xps
