The weather clears after a wet night, and we have a beautiful sunny day. (Yes the tent leaked again). The steep drop to the river is really fast. We have to negotiate a 200m rock scree slope on the descent.
At the river we have to ford it - it is very wide. Once across we take off our shoes and socks to have lunch and dry our boots and our tent in the sun. We meet Kristin the ridge runner here. She did the AT in as a thru hiker in 2009.
We make the steep climb up to the campsite. This is a special campsite. The register is kept in the loo. There are problems with hedgehogs eating the door! Hikers have written in the register about moose wandering around the campsite in the middle of the night. Alas not on our night.
