Today it took us too long to get ready and we ended up hiking through the heat of the day. It was really tough and I felt like I was going to die because of the heat. We all felt unmotivated.
We are getting picked up tomorrow by my sister Mb to go to a wedding in Cooperstown, New York. We struggled through the heat. The sweat kept dripping into my eyes and it HURT! We knew we weren't going to make it the19 miles to the next shelter. We only ended up hiking 6.6 miles and I wasn't mad about it. We set up our camp near a stream and spent the remainder of the day laying on the ground listening to music and eating too much hiker food. Mountain Man even played his harmonica which made me very very happy. I love when he plays. Now if I can just get him to play every day we will be set! :)
I got up to throw some stuff in my tent and realized there was a twig or something in my croc. It was a GIANT SPIDER. Orange and mean looking. I stepped on the sucker with all my weight and it didn't crush. Explain that to me please. I screamed and jumped up and down for Robby to come save me. I quickly got in my tent and didn't leave for the remainder of the night. I have been doing great dealing with the bugs and whatnot but not in my shoes. No no! That spider will haunt me in my dreams tonight but tomorrow I will wake up singing and skipping because I get to see my family, My dad, Mb, my brother-in-law Freddy, and my oldest brother jimmy!! Smudgy cheeks will be at the wedding too and it will be nice to hear about his hike since we left each other.
