Today was a bit of a challenge: we did 21 miles in steady rain. Fortunately, we have a nice, dry, warm place to spend the night: Four Pines Hostel, which is where we were last night. Our hike today began with a climb up to the site where Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WWII, was killed in a 1971 plane crash. It was a somber setting due to the rain. Many icons were left at the memorial even some 40 years after the event. Veterans paying tribute. We also climbed up and down Dragon's Tooth, a pretty tricky climb in the rain. It has a couple of areas where you need to hang on to rebar to get down the rock faces. All good.
