Day 20: 16.4 miles – Russell Field Shelter to Double Springs Gap Shelter

Mile marker: 197.4 Miles today: 16.4

As happy as I was being there, I cried today. I was just missing my love ones.

Perhaps it was not the hardest day physically (even if it was ups & downs all day with snow), it was a hard one mentally.

The views were comforting.

When I got to the shelter I was aiming for, I decided to push to the next one since it was close: just 1.9 miles! Soft yeti was pushing for it, it motivated me to do the same.

Happy I did, the shelter had a tarp unlike the one before: it cuts the wind a lot! It’s great.

I’ve been sleeping in the shelters in the smookies! I’ve been enjoying them.

An other fire was done that night.

I also put way to much water in my mac& cheese…it was more like soup 😅

I found that the privy were pretty that night.
