Day 46 (August 9)

Today started out early -- 2:00 a.m. I had to get out of the shelter because the old guy lying next to me was snoring -- bellowing -- too loudly. He finished off each wheeze with a sort of mucus gurgle that was just too much. Of course most of us snore, so I couldn't hold it against him... The rain had stopped, and I had a great sleep until 5:00. Covered a lot of ground today: almost 19 miles and five mountains:
Chairback, Gulf Hagas, West Peak, Hay, and White Cap Mountain. I could see Katahdin from the top of White Cap -- still 73 miles away. I am stealth camping tonight. I like doing that; it's quiet. I pick up my bucket drop at a secret location 13 miles from here. Looking forward to that since my food supply is about caput. Looking forward to another rain-free day tomorrow. Today was perfect! Take care.
