Had the shelter to myself until the rain started at about 11. Then the teens from the church group moved in because the tents leaked. Nice kids though – tried to be really quiet and were super respectful. One of them had a freak out when a mouse ran across their face. Pretty funny. Rain all day, hail in the morning. Hard climb up Albert Mt. Steep and slippery, really cool. Beautiful view. Another long day out felt good. The dog stayed with the church group. In the shelter again tonight. Good company: Thinker, Lotus, Hair Bear, and another (I forgot his name). Lipton dinner and I lost my spork. Bummer, but I will get another at the NOC. Looks like more rain ahead. Feeling pretty good.
