First Shelter Post
I walked 60477 steps on the trail today.
I traveled about 28 miles today.
The mosquito mesh suits came in handy ALL afternoon as we hiked through forest and savannah with no wind. It actually got a little irksome.
As long as I'm complaining... My right shin has been bothering me the last couple days and started to swell some today. Ibuprofen and a long night resting will hopefully help.
We reached a state forest facility and stopped to cook dinner at 6pm. Ranger Wilson helped us camp legally in the shelter here. Doesn't it look nice? After the deal was done, we noticed that Palmyra (and probably a free backyard) was only 3 miles farther. Oh well, we'll plan better next time.
We do have a nice sunset and found a mosquito coil to light in the shelter which really helped clear them out. Now it's 8pm and timebto climb in bed. On towards Milton and Janesville tomorrow.
