5/12 Shenandoahs is for drivers

26.2 hiked today, 881.3 miles N, 1292.7 miles left
Pinefield Hut

After my late hike last night I took it easy this morning. Not much happened. I sort of hiked in a annoyed daze as it seems the trail in this section pretty much shadows the road through the Shenandoahs with the road, Skyline Drive, taking the senic spots. As a result I spent much of the day listening to cars and straight piped motorcycles. I was shooting to pick up some food at Loft Mountain Camp Ground but they hadn't opened yet for the season so I ate from my two day supply. Thunderstorms rolled through in the afternoon but fortunatly they were all show and little rain. It rained just enough to make everyone get out the pack covers and rain gear but turned out to just be enough to moisten the ground.
The shelter is packed tonight but it looks like almost everyone is electing to sleep in tents or me in a hammock so the shelter is nearly empty. Invisable Man is here along with a group of people who are celibrating the end of college. They have taken finals and they will graduate next weekend. They are very friendly and it looks like have too much food. Perhaps I can help them with that in the morning. ;)
