Wednesday the 12th was hot and humid again, but I manned up and we went for it. It was a 7 mile day, but it was back up the ridge, with some pretty steep sections. We took two separate hour-long rests during the hot part of the day. MF kept saying we could turn around and just hang out in Pearisburg all week and he'd be fine with that, but I'm pretty sure that was a cleverly disguised way to make me want to prove to him I could do it despite the goddamn humidity and the fact that my new pack was chafing my super swole arms. Wednesday night ended on top of a ridge again, at a shelter. This is the view from the ridge in front of the shelter.
