I saw Oaks and Sweet Pea at the Lodge before I left. They had spent the night with friends. I got a ride two miles back to the trail. It was 8:50 am when I started hiking. It was about 40 degrees and clear. I had a 3,000 ft up from the dam. After 5 miles I came to a side trail to the Shuckstack fire tower. I had a great view from the top of the tower. The tower is in poor condition. I hiked by myself today. Mid day I met Great Legs, he's from Connecticut. I asked if he had seen a few different guys. He said Phys Ed was in front of us. When I reached Spence Field shelter he was there. I'll probably hike with him tomorrow. His friend Jack is with him now too. He was off trail when I met Phys Ed last week. There's a father and daughter here, Sparky and Kasey. They're from Iowa. Kasey graduated from college last year. There's also Karma who is from Pennsylvania. It's 8:07, I need to get in the sleeping bag.
