Day 2 – David Logan Shelter to Sunrise Shelter

This 6.3 mile stretch starts off steep and rugged, then smoothes out a bit. Had to go slow today and take many breaks. My strained hip muscle was causing me to limp along. Arrived at Sunrise Shelter about noon and caught up with Lady Slipper and Wanderlost. Nice to see them again. After lunch I hiked down hill to Brandon Gap ( Route 73). Crossed the highway and started the climb up to Mt Horrid. it was steep and I wasn’t making good headway. I realized I was not going to make it to the next shelter in time. I decided to hike 2 miles back to Sunrise Shelter.
