501 shelter

34.9 miles, 1183.5 total.
lived up to my lunatic name today. hiked 35 miles in the rain over wet, jagged rocks.
left camp at 7:00 this morning and got to this shelter at 7:00 tonight. I'm tired and my body hurts. I just didn't feel like stopping anywhere; was cold and wet and just wanted to keep walking. this shelter is completely enclosed, has a skylight and twelve bunks with a giant picnic table in the middle. I'm the only one here, and I didn't see anyone today so I doubt I'll be joined by anyone tonight. my wet stuff is hanging all over the place, but I doubt it will get dry overnight. going to bed as soon as possible. it's called 501 because it's near highway 501, not because of its button fly.
later,
L
