We walk along the Blue Ridge Parkway today and the trail is sometimes very close which is not our favorite. The weather has somehow jumped from early spring to summer and almost overnight it is
very hot, humid and most unfortunately the black flies are relentless.
We arrive at the shelter and are pleased that Gigs, Gruffalo and 10-Speed are there to hang out. The shelter is .2 off the trail which is some thing that thru-hikers really don't like, but there is nothing else in the area. It is nearly impossible to camp as the ground everywhere around the shelter is sloped so we all crowd into the shelter. A couple more people come in and need to move on due to lack of space. It is important not to forget ear plugs as sleep is impossible without them in the shelter.
