Today was a day for the birds or the dogs whichever you prefer. My hiking party has split for the time being due to Willie wanting to wait for Kerry who was slower due to meeting her boyfriend. Started hiking out of damascus around 2 after eating and visiting the library. Didn't expect to get far, but my pack felt like it was made of cement. Couple that with a too close thunderstorm and you have less than ideal hiking conditions. I felt magnetically drawn to ever tent site I passed. Eventually I gave in and tented at 474.1. After such a slow start, I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised that the bear bag took an hour too hang. The rope was too short, the throw a little too short, the limb a little too flexible, or the limb too thin and brittle. Only thing that saved today was a paperback - hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
