Wapiti Shelter to Woods Hole Hostel I woke up a bit later than I wanted to, but it was raining fairly hard at 6 and did not stop until almost 6:30am.

Damascus, VA to Lost Mountain Shelter - 16.2 miles I was the one of the only ones awake by 7 am at the church. I decided to get breakfast at Mojo’s.
