Today was uneventful - we climbed a bit, descended a bit. I have some blisters under and between my toes, which is really the first time I've had foot issues. I think it's time for a quieter day.
There no available tent sites last night, so we crammed a shelter full. It's not easy to sleep with eight full grown men on camp mattresses, shifting around, snoring, dreaming, reading, etc... I woke up unrested, my clothes still wet from a rainfall, and under cloud cover promising another wet day. When I set out my mood was a bit low. For the first time I genuinely thought that I probably wouldn't finish the trail (not that I meant to leave any time soon, just that I was unlikely to enjoy this for four more months).
Things brightened a bit when Legs and Timber caught up. I still don't have a "Georgia or Bust" attitude, but the people out here have a way of making you want to stay on the trail.
I guess time will tell.
