Start point: Partnership Shelter
End point: Gullion (Little Brushy Mtn.)
miles hiked: 16.8

I got up in the middle of the night, moved out of the shelter and cowboy camped the rest of the night. This guy Minnesota Smith can snore like no other, I took 2 advil PM and he still woke me up after about 2 hrs of sleep. I was pissed to say the least. Got going after doing stretches and 70 push-ups (2sets 25, 1set 20). Caught up with the Man and Flatlander right before Chatfield Shelter and we all ate lunch there together. Matt from DC showed up and we hiked out together almost all the way to Atkins where we ate at a restaurant called the Barn. Every patron in the place was a hiker, so that was a kind of funny sight to see at a normal restaurant. We met Green Light and Blue Sky at the gas station across the street,

we all hiked on together and found a tent site on the top of a ridge.Green Light and Blue SkyMatt from DC
