Hogback Ridge Shelter

14.7 miles, 313 total.
rainy, windy, and cold today.
started in the middle of the night and made the day go really slow. late start -didn't get going until after 9:30. here at 4 pm and aleady 8 others (in a shelter for 6) getting ready to bed down early because it's blowing rain - and really cold. probably won't cook, just get into the bag and chat - ugh. i don't like chatting. and we'll be packed in like sardines tonight...maybe it will make it warmer.
ankle is feeling much better but the brace has caused a big blister. nice.
had cell coverage for a few minutes so i called K and then larry to let them know i'm alive. frustrating not being connected.
couldn't see much today because i was walking in a cloud all day. hate that because my glasses fog up and can't see...and can't see if i take them off. geek. :)

later. i'm going to get warm.
