Hungry hungry hiker...

3/10/08 - 14 miles worth of hiking today. Camping tonight at a shelter about 3/4 of a mile down the back-end of Albert Mtn. known as Big Spring Shelter. Today's highlights include...
  • A lot of creek crossing - which of course he loved
  • Ate 2 lunches just cause he had the time (what a great reason to eat twice!)
  • Trekked above 5,000 ft 2x today & saw his 1st 360 degree panoramic view at the top of Albert Mtn. - which of course he also loved!
  • Taking lots of vitamin I for his knee - says it does a fairly good job of numbing the pain while he hikes... no comment.
  • Scarfed down 8 servings of stuffing (with a 1/2 brick of cheese) for dinner (Note: eight servings is NOT a typo!!)
  • Same guys are at the shelter tonight as last night but they'll most likely split up tomorrow (unnamed hiker from camp yesterday is Squire)
