Pretty standard morning: broke camp, ate, started walking. Hiking was alternating smooth and very rocky.
Passed Katara who was planning on staying at The Lookout Hostel tonight, same as me.
You could see The Pinnacle from Dan's Pulpit. I was there yesterday!
Got to the road where the hostel and a restaurant were located. I look over and see Pat from the other day sitting out back enjoying a sandwich! Went over and said hi, he must have gotten ahead of me while I was resupplying.
Arrived at the hostel. Its in a really cute little house on the side of the mountain with an amazing view south.
Here are a few pics of what the place looks like.
Moon and their partner Tie Dye were hanging out, having spent last night in the hostel and only having a short hike ahead of them today. Got to chat with them while I snacked, and then I showered and started the laundry. Learned they are shuttle drivers north of here so maybe I'll see them again!
Met Luscious on his way back from lunch. He's slack packing tomorrow which sounds pretty nice given the terrain. I may join him.
Katara, who is named after the water bender, showed up later in the day and I joined her for dinner at the nearby restaurant Thunderhead Lodge
Weighed in after dinner. I weigh the same as when I started. Guess I'm eating enough.
