After the late hiking last night, Blueberry Crisp and Lancelot had their hearts set on a sleep in and late start. I'd spent the evening discussing job options over email (I have to go back to the real world eventually), so I wasn't moving quickly in the morning either. We finally hit the trailhead around 10:45, only to be met by yesterday's trail angel again. More free food and chat, and we finally hit the trail at 11:30.
It was a slow day. Blueberry Crisp still wants to sleep at 6,200' tomorrow night. We've agreed to assess the situation at the shelter tomorrow, but this will mean falling well off our 20 mile per day pace. I may choose to hike to a lower elevation for the night and wait for the him and Flatlander to catch me the next day. Regardless, we will have some seriously long days ahead to make up the time.
