On Pine Mountain
The lower slopes that is. I wanted to make it all the way to the observatory at the top today to pick up my food and water cache but I'm about 3 miles short of that. I started walking shortly after 5:30 this morning an stopped at 3:30 after about 17 miles. I had time left to get all the way to the observatory but not the energy. The going was pretty tough with a couple of cross-country sections and mile and a half extra done because a map reading mistake, plus a pretty good elevation gain. I'll do the rest of the 2200 hundred foot elevation in the morning.
At what turned out not to be the trailhead
First night to camp.
I started way the other side of the peak in the upper left-hand corner
Tonight's camp.
So tired yesterday

That's not quite the look you had when we dropped you off, Pilgrim. I hope things will go easier for you after you get to the top of Pine Mtn. Michael
