Well bella seemed better this morning so after filling up on water we put down 8.5 miles to the ensign P Cowall memorial shelter. Gonna catch lunch and a nap here,beat the heat for a while then its on for 5 more miles to devils racecourse. Last night while enjoying some good company, a section hiker showed up with a cooler with what else but COLD BEER! 2 things of trail magic in one day, I feel blessed. Tomorrow if all goes to plan I'll cross into Pennsylvania and start hitting some really rocky terrain. Its mating season for daddy long-legs, they are literally everywhere! Thousands of them, black ones,white ones, red , brown its crazy. Tonight I have a good meal planned, a little backpacker veggie speghetti looking forward to it.. Hope to update later, battery is at half charge now so no telling how long I have or if I'll have service. Time for lunch and a nap.
