Thursday May 31, miles today 5.7, miles from Springer 58

After drying my tent, Obi-Wan, Major Tom and I went and had breakfast at the only non fast-food restaurant in town.  We returned, grabbed our gear and tried to get a ride back to the trailhead.  We finally got there at 11:30.  We had to start with some big climbs over Rocky mountain and Tray mountain.  On the way I met a hiker from Bavaria.  We finally got to Tray mountain and decided to stay there.  Our new German friend did not have a trail name so I named him Hellcat.  Our threesome became a diverse foursome, a Pennsylvanian, a Bostonian, a Swiss and a German.
