We woke up to rain and nearly 100% humidity. We packed up as quickly as we could, wet tents and all. My glasses fogged up immediately and we set out walking. Not being able to see very clearly made it slow going. We did a little over 4 miles and then grabbed a shuttle into Pine Grove, our resupply spot. Two of our fellow hikers, Bond and Snowball met up with us and split the shuttle with us. Bond is a fellow LASHer (long-ass section hiker) and Snowball is doing a 3 week section hike. Her travel visa (she's German) is up at the end of next week.
We got dropped off at the Comfort Inn, a really nice hotel with an awesome hiker rate. A hot shower, a chance to do laundry, dry some stuff out, and being out of the rain was a good thing. We took a walk up to The Diner, had some good food and the hit the Dollar General to resupply. Now we're ready to hit the trail again in the morning (after we take advantage of the all you can eat breakfast).
This is how hikers dry their tents.
Ouch.
Ouch on the blister.
