I walked alone and slow all day. Two days ago I hiked with Backstreet and yesterday with him and Slacks. I enjoyed the company after so many miles alone. But after two days hiking faster than normal I was exhausted and sore, so I'm back to hiking alone.
The trail was good and the climbs moderate but it still took nine hours to cover less than 17 miles. Dang I'm hiking slowly, even for me.
Spirit thinks I should see a doctor. Maybe she's right. Well, of course she's right. It took 30 minutes for my breathing rate to come down to normal after I stopped yesterday.
July 15: 16.7 miles to Big Branch Shelter, near Darby VT.
