I hiked 7.1 miles today. Sprout, Bubbles, and I are going to split up. I hike faster than them and want to summit Katahdin so that I can go on vacation with my dad to the Outerbanks so I'm going to take off. I can't really get too far away from them until after I get to Vernon New Jersey because our next food drop is there. After that dad will be sending my food ahead of Sprout and Bubbles.
While I was hiking today I fell down on my right knee pretty hard. Dad said to always fall forward but I think he was talking about when I'm climbing up, not down! Ha. Actually, my boot came untied, I stepped on my shoe lace, and I couldn't catch myself in time. I was going to keep going to the next shelter but I ended up staying Unionville, NY. I stopped at the post office to send home ALL nonessential items. I want to keep my back as light as possible.
I had to charge my charging unit and my phone today. It took so long that by the time I stopped at a campsite to camp for the night they were closed so I could not get a permit. I ended up finding a comfortable sidewalk and cowboy camped on it!
