Great rest at Thomas knob shelter even though the wind was well over 40mph at some points in the night. Slept well. The snorers were quiet. Hung my food at the bottom of the shelter overhang. No rats at night while at the shelter nor did any steal my food. Today was a challenging day. We couldn't determine whether it was going to rain or not. Overcast all day. We took our pack rain covers out and put them on many times. Saw one pony through Grayson Highlands State Park. We were slightly bummed but new we could always return and see them again. Blisters and achy feet were common throughout the day. Roots and rocks pounded our feet. 11 AT miles. Arrived to camp at 3. Gathered water twice and set up camp at Old Orchard Shelter. Ate and went to bed. Icy Hot applied to feet, knees, shoulders and lower back. Body is feeling good but exhausted. Camp fire and company were surreal.
Joe got a picture with the IHOP medal. Many others pictures with others are coming!!
Longhorn cattle
Wild ponies please?
....ponies?
Unsure if you can see but it was in the distance. Windy day and overcast kept them under trees. Only saw 1 :(
Lunch with rare breed and Japanese magazine writers from the mjapanese mag called Wilderness. The line green jacket was the one thru hiking. Nice guys.
The crew at camp!
