Appalachian Trail --- Section Hike 1 --- Day 9

Day 9 

Standing Indian Summit to Glassmine Gap
15.5 miles
Today marks our 100th mile!

Well who said popping a tent on the top of a bald with no protection was a good idea??? We were wondering why the other campers were off to the side snuggled into the woods...we thought we scored the ultimate sunset views...little did we know that we would hardly (or at least I would hardly) sleep a wink because the winds were so forceful at any given moment i thought the tent would upstate itself and take flight...with that said though the morning sunrise was just as stunning as the sunset. Full confession, I may do the same thing all over again.

Although its rained everyday the views we do sneak are awing. The fact that this is all in our great country makes one humble. 

Happy Father's Day to Roberto and all Dad's out there.

We were fast on the move today. Didn't stop for breakfast until 5 miles in. My eyes, I know I keep complaining, but...are almost officially closed, damn sodium! 

The scramble up Albert Mountain was challenging, then topping off was the climb up the fire tower. The history, the winds, the views...the rain. :) All worth it. As you can see from the smiles on our faces.

Another day comes to an end...keep on smiling girls!
