Brown Fork Gap Shelter

At about 11 a.m. this morning, we hit the Trail, pushing hard in order to travel about 13 miles to Brown Fork Gap Shelter (mile 152.7) before it began to rain. We arrived there at about 7 p.m. with just enough light to set up camp.

Depending on the weather, tomorrow I hope to make it to the Fontana Dam Lodge to pick up my next resupply box, and then to Fontana Dam Shelter for the night. That will be another 13-mile day. Snow and colder night-time temperatures are supposed to be moving into the area for Wednesday and Thursday, so it will be good to be settled in tomorrow.
