Mile 308 to mile 326 : Deep Creek Hot Springs to Silverwood Lake
Mileage : 18
It did not cool.down last night, not at all. Usually i sleep wearing my down jacket and hat, but not last.night, i probably could have not used a sleeping bag at all but there were lots of bugs so i used one anyway. He hiking began at normal time but already it was too hot to hike. By 9:30 we stopped at Deep Creek exit spill way for a break and didn't really move for 7 hours. At 10:30am we did attempt to make a.move and got another half a mile up the trail before beige waylaid by trail angels Marlene and Greg who live just off the trail. Their trail magic camp in he form.of root beer floats, a first on the trail so far. While the floats were very much appreciated, he meant we spent another hour not hiking, during which time all.motivation for hiking was lost. To be fair though it was over 34 degrees in through shade.even before midday, so an executive decision was made to wait out the sun. The sun is winning even after 7 hours. There will have to be serious night hiking to b done if we want to make.up these miles.

Still no photos of PG Monkey..?! You know I think you have kept him hidden for the first month just because you were nervous that that would end up being your trail name ;)
