(Daily Mi: 22.2) Hiked like hell to make up for my short miles yesterday. Started the day with climb and long easy ridge walk. However, the second ridge of the day was seriously bony and slow going. Got dubious of making around 4 pm when I still had around 5 miles to go (and a little more than 17 miles behind me).
Turned on the afterburners. Mostly pastures and rolling hills for the last bit. Catch up to Brown Trout and Flutterby for the last two miles. Find Brother at the shelter. Brown Trout builds a fire, which he apparently at least always tries to do. Everyone but me pitches near the perfectly good shelter.
