Day 9

Day 9: 14 miles

A mouse ate 3 holes in my sleeping bag even though though there was no food in there. It kept me up most of the night cause I would hear it or feel it back on my sleeping bag and didn’t want another one.

I missed the heavy rain this morning and got a very late start and just got drizzled on for most of the day. It was an extremely slow moving day. I was either postholing (stepping on snow and immediately sinking because it’s not packed or frozen) up to my shins and sometimes above my knee OR I was walking in inches of Walmart parking lot sludge with ice cold water beneath it. I definitely had the WAF today.

The first picture is me on top of Rocky Top. Cue to corny Peyton Manning dance.

Tomorrow can only be better.
