I’m writing this from the Thunder Hill Shelter prior to sleeping.
There is a hiker log book at each shelter where you can pretty much write anything you’d like in them. Most are simple things like “trail name” in for the night, hiked 17 today, no water between x and x. Well, the last entry in this log book says “bear seen in front of shelter at 2 a.m.” Gulp:-)
So we’ll see what happens. I hung my food right outside the shelter and smeared honey on my toes; -)
