Day 33: Sarver Hollow Shelter to Pickle Branch Shelter (15.9 miles)

June 14, 2004 - I didn’t get my 38 miles, only 16. It seemed like my ankle was better but after a few miles it started hurting like yesterday. Other than that it was nice hiking weather and nice trails to hike. I decided to camp early at 2 pm and rest till tomorrow and see how I feel. I’m coming up to a difficult part called Dragon’s Tooth. Some other hiker say its a good, slow hike. I hope to make up it up there for sunrise, only 3 miles away. Some high schoolers just showed up but there are too many to stay in the shelter with us. Let’s hope my ankle is better in the morning. 15.9 miles on the day.
