Hard time getting up this morning, it was pretty cold. Finally got up at 6, ate a bagel, packed up and got on the trail by 7. Started with a 3 1/2 mile uphill over rocky ground followed by a 3 1/2 mile downhill. I didn't meet anyone until I was nearly at my destination Pine Grove Furnace. I met three rather chubby backpackers resting 1/2 mile up the hill. I evaded their question on how far it was to the top, I didn't have the heart to tell them they had 3 more miles but encouraged them that it gets easier in another 1/2 mile.
