so I apparently didn't have a journal entry for the first night of our trip so I hope I can remember it all. we started out the trip with 8 miles till camp that night. it was my uncle and mine's first trip out in 3 months and my cousins had never been out before. we all did good even though we got into camp a little late around 7pm. my little cousin, erin, whose only 10, was thinking she might want to get picked up by her mom the next day. my uncle and I had pick a section through Virginia that was close to where my uncle lived so that we could get picked up if need be. so that night we had gone to bed and we were planning to see how we all felt in the morning. we got to sleep in the shelter again but it was infested with stink bugs. if we hadn't gotten to camp so late we probably would have put up the tents instead. personally I like sleeping in the shelters because it makes it easier to breakdown camp in the morning and get walking sooner. my uncle and I felt really off this trip and it may have ben because we hadn't been out in a while or because we added 2 more people to our trip. we were moving slower and just weren't making the time we usually do.
we hit a few bumps in the road which I will give more detail on in the next post. it was a fun trip though and filled with learning. I don't think my other cousin, haley, whose 20, will be coming out again anytime soon.
