Another day of semi rain. I waited out the worst of it in the early morning. By around 11 it seemed to be getting better, based on the color of the clouds, so I took off. I got lucky, and most of the afternoon was clear.
Given my crash yesterday I was much more careful about breaks and snacks today, especially since I knew there wasn't going to be a leanto at the end of the day to dry off in.
There is definitely a major mental difference in hiking on rainy days. I know there were some views today, but I didn't get my camera out because of the rain. It seemed like I was rushing the entire day, much more goal oriented rather than just hiking for enjoyment.
I did meet two hiking along the way, from Rochester. One of them was only a fee miles away from finishing an end to end hike of the FLT. It seems like that is a much more common term, rather than thru hiker. Most people only hike it in sections, so end to ender is the normal term.
Adventuring around the country, one step, one paddle, one pedal at a time.
