Underestimation - Aug 18

I figured 6 days for 100 Mike wilderness, so packed food for 4 days for the first 60 miles.  I want this to be my finale for the AT, taking time to enjoy the surroundings, swim, and breadth in the wilderness. 

Unfortunately I underestimated the rocks, roots and mud. My view is just of my feet and my pace too slow to allow much extra time to relax. 15 miles is a full day of just walking.

I camp with Jackpot, a speedy hiker who will have completed the trail in less than four months.  Ah, the blessing of fast and stable feet. 

15.2 miles to West Fork Pleasant River.
