6/19 Motivational Issues

5.3 hiked today, 1347.8 miles N, 826.2 miles left
Wawayanda Shelter

As the title says I had a motivational problem today. It was too hot and sunny out (95 degrees) and the church too cool and comfy (about 70 degrees). I am not even sure what I did. One thing was I got some fresh produce from A&P and using the eggs and cheese in the hiker fridge I made a huge batch of scrambled eggs with spinach, sauted onions and peppers, and tomatoes for lunch.
Finally at 6PM McGyver, Caps, and I all agreed we had to get out of town or risk getting caught again tomorrow. Once again we hiked like crazy and arrived after dark.
The site is pretty crowded but most people are staying in tents. As I set up I found out why. Even though a storm is looming they were setting up outside in droves to avoid the mosquitoes. I put on my head net and wind clothes which is doing a pretty good job keeping them away.

Now the rain is really coming down and the wind has picked up so I am glad I am in here rather than having to dry off in the morning.
