Lunch at the lean-to

 I hiked 9 miles before 10 o'clock, didn't see a soul. The lean-to had many visitors starting with rosemary and Gracie. Followed by this group ,I think they were doing a 12 mile Loop. they ranged in age from mid 30's to mid 50's. They were all in great shape and well outfitted. They shared their lunch and great hiking stories. When they left ,I started collecting firewood. Tonight should be a warmer night
