Dropped off shortly after 6:00—I really don't love these taxi transfers—to begin the walk going in the wrong direction. But it was a lovely diversion zig-zaggging through a pine forest, which really added to a rather so so day. Lots of road walking; too much. The soles of my boots have barely any tread left, the uppers are pulling away from the bottoms, and the tips of my poles worn through to the metal. This has never happened before, even on longer walks. I just hope the boots make it through two more weeks.

I had paid special attention to getting to the evening's accommodation, but all the extra maps and reading the directions carefully, and using the GPS and View Ranger did not, in the end, help: "After you cross the bridge, take the track up...." but I did not see any track. I spent about an hour in the heat, looking for the place, following blue blazes, which, clearly were for something else entirely. This was very annoying.
Even the dogs agreed:
Yes, and you, too!
