Well uh that didn’t post last time…
First day was pretty easy at 2.8 miles at a late start. Stopped at Stover creek shelter,
Second day woke up to snow, hiked a good 13 miles. Thankful for stumbling across Bear bait cause I was dying. Hiking in 2″ of snow while snowing sucks. Trail legs slowly but surely,kicking in.
Day 3, saw a bad storm coming into this area, decided to pull of in Suches for the next 2 days with Bear Bait, Mito, and Hail Stones. Some of the more insane ones from our group decided to push 16 today (we did 6) and get to Neels gap. I hope they make it…
Chilling at the Thru Hiker hostel cooling my heels watching the snow endlessly fall..
Happy trails,
Doug
Good luck!

You’re out there now? !
I hope we never meet on the Trail — mostly because I don’t start for 6 weeks and if I catch up with you, that means you’ve been seriously slowed down by something bigger than a little snow. (I would like to hear your stories about it, though.) Be safe out there.

Good luck on your thru! Early start, I bet the beginning will be pretty miserable at times. Looking forward to following your trip.
