Monday 6 April 2009 - Cosby Knob Shelter

Some serious weather today - was kept awake last night by a huge thunder storm - thought it was going to tear the roof from the shelter. Then this morning we had snow that set in and stayed all day - the temperature was so down so low that the water in the tube of my Platypus pack froze. Did my first 20 miles day to ensure that we have a shorter day tomorrow into the Standing Bear Farm hostel. Sleeping in a packed shelter with 17 people (and an official capacity of 12). Was a fun day though - I've hiked the past few days with Monkey Wrench, Peggy + Paul and Beccy + Matt and it's been real fun, hilarious in fact. Tonight reached the height of delirium as we speculated wildly on what delights would greet us in Hot Springs.

P.S Hit the 10% mark on the trail today.
