I left the creek side camp for Jenny Knob shelter this morning just after 7am. Coed and Coyote weren't far behind. There's very little water on this section so we had to shoot for a twenty mile day. It's hard still to hike that long. I bypassed Bland; Needmore went in as his family is there for a visit. Chipmunk is back somewhere, we'll see him again I'm sure. We got passed by several folks as we stopped for the last water for twelve miles just north of Bland. Kinda worried me as I wanted in the shelter tonight as rain is coming. But most decided to pass on and tent. In the end, the shelter did fill up but I had my spot. A dry night!
I met Mellow and Slouch, father and daughter, Tribute from Stephenville, TX and Coyote from Parker, TX. Several fast movers coming from Jenkins shelter restarting after being at Trail Days also passed me.
