Pete made Eggs with Cheese, spinach, kale and mushrooms and I had leftovers from my burrito for breakfast. Ryan picked us up and took us to the trail. Started hiking at 9. I listened to the “Highkey” playlist Maize made for me. Easy day hiking, smiling the whole way. Met Tenderfoot, Griz and Sped. Sped: 66 year old from NJ. Did AT 3 years ago. Chill guy.
Dinner: Mac n Cheese with pulled pork. Ramen. Apple and Peanut Butter.
Pete got here! I drew postcards for Nick bday and Maize. Cold one tonight. Hot Springs tomorrow!

Had ramen for lunch in some rocks that had a perfect seat. My energy was renewed from the good food and sleep from the night before. Sped let me borrow his cup to scoop water from a slowly trickling stream near the end of the day. The camping area was in a hillside boulder field with views of the distant mountains I would reach in a few days time.
