7-28-2009 Tues

Start point: Wildcat Shelter
End point: Surebridge Mtn
miles hiked: 13.2

Dragonbreath got out of camp 1st, then Zen, I was last. Tough day, like a mini-rollercoaster, just kept going up these mountains, coming right back down, then right back up another one, back to back to back. Hot day, sweat ALOT. There weren't hardly any good water sources, thank goodness 2 different sets of people left water caches at 2 different road crossings. Afer climbing Arden Mtn and coming down the other side I set up my tent because of thunder. Really did not feel like getting rained on. Of course then it cleared back up, so I re-packed my tent and continued on. Crossed over I-87 and into Harriman State Park, very beautiful. Funny how the landscape changes so drastically sometimes. Wanted to make it to Fingerboard Shelter, but it got dark so I just set up on a flat spot on the side of the trail.
