Hiked from Black Gap Shelter to Hawk Mountain Shelter (9.7 miles). The first five miles were awesome. The last 4.7 miles sucked big ones. Still better than yesterday. A pretty big storm is supposed to roll through tomorrow, with a forecasted rain fall of 2.5”. That is a shit ton of rain! Hopefully the lightning minds its manners and leaves me alone. Pretty scary running down a trail in torrential rain trying to out run lightning like its Russian artillery. Better put some pitter in my patter.
Hike Time: 6:56
Distance: 9.7
Average speed: 1.4 mph
Elevation gain: 1667’
Least favorite piece of gear: hard sided bear vault. Damn thing weighs a ton. I am supposed to have it up until Neel Gap where I will ship that SOB back to the house.
