Word for the day: Taco Soup
We woke-up to rain. The good news, then new tarps kept everyone dry. Bad-news, having to pack up in the rain.
Riley is in a "puppy timeout". While taking our stuff down to the shelter to try to pack in dry area. There were two hikers who stopped to repack, get water, and eat. Riley decided he wanted some of a hikers taco soup.
The hiker took it well, MJ was mortified, and now Riley is in timeout.

This is why we come to the shelters. A privy is like a very primitive porta-potty. No water, and composting waste.
This privy has no roof, which makes using it in the rain an experience.
We had a late start due to the rain. 11:30am (very late)

Leaves starting to fall in areas. The trail is beautiful.
We broke into to separate groups. Robbie, Brooke, Seth, Riley in group one, Outlaw, MJ, Scout in group two.
Outlaw and Scout are moving slow today.
Waiting for group to catch up. Seth is trying to start a fire, Brooke is keeping Riley warm.
Drying clothes on trailside
The rest of the day was spent getting to the shelter and nursing Outlaw along. Apparently she has a current groin injury that nobody told me about. That makes sense why she was slow moving. She is having a hard time lifting her left leg. This is a problem when climbing rocks, going up and down elevations.
We were able to make it to the shelter at dark. Had to carry Outlaws pack part of the way. The trail is unsafe when dark, wet, and at elevation.
There were hikers at the shelter who were very helpful in helping get the hammocks up.
Everyone is beat
Status:
Outlaw - groin injury
Robbie - fine
MJ - some nausea, aching calf
Brooke - a lot of nausea
Seth - good
Scout - attitude slowing her down
