August 3: we had planned on leaving at 7 promptly, but early morning rain delayed us by about 45 minutes. We started on rocky terrain around the pond, mist hovering above the surface. Soon the rocks faded out, and we hurried along a series of ups and downs. Along the way, we passed a number of cairn gardens.
We passed the Florida Flip Floppers and Little Engine & Indy slack packing south. We descended to a nice river where we got water and saw Fire Hazard and Sherwood. Nice to see those guys again. At the road crossing, they picked up some trail magic left for them while Sub and I ate some snacks from our packs.
We hightailed it the next 6 miles, past a swimming hole, to the next road crossing where we met my Dad!!
He brought us snickers & other snacks. We drove into Rutland, stopping at EMS to pick up my new sleeping bag and for Sub to get new boots.
We tried to go to the Yellow Deli for lunch, but it was Saturday, the sabbath, so it was closed. We ended up going to a pub.
Nice visit with Dad, laundry, showers, and resupply. Good town stop.
