AT Section 2 Day 4

Sun Apr 12 Hurricane Shelter to Partnership Shelter 20 miles

Today was absolutely beautiful! I was pretty scared about it being too cold last night but it ended up much better than the night before. I woke up very early with a couple thru-hiking and hiked all day with them. They had been taking the pace pretty slow, but decided they wanted to book it today to get to this shelter. The three of us had all day to talk about everything with not a cloud in the sky. We came across the into the wild bus, evidently moved to VA.

We were booking it for the first half and took out time with many breaks sitting in the sun for the rest. The special thing about this shelter is being able to have PIZZA delivered! And the first place I've been able to get reception. The three of us put down two larges pretty easily. It's pretty easy to see why this place is called "Paradise Shelter" It'd be a bit nicer with the running water, but that's not until the nights are above freezing. I got a nice blister from my boots. Tomorrow I have the choice between 7 or 24 miles, so I looks like tomorrow will be an easy day with 7 to heal the heel.
