Tonight was my first night sleeping in a shelter. I had just come off the shuttle from Franklin, NC when it started raining. Cheese Whiz and I hiked 4.2 miles and booked it to the nearest shelter. Siler Bald Shelter was .5 miles from the trail, but it was a safe haven. Little did I know that I was in for a memorable night. As soon as I got to the shelter and started cooking dinner it started hailing. This is where I met Crispy and Candyman....2 men and full of fun. Others soon arrived and by the end of the night our 8 person shelter hosted Crispy, Candyman, Moss, Baked Beans, Cheese Whiz, Dirty Barefoot guy, Grumpy Commercial Airplane Pilot, The Weird Guy with the hairy back, Puddle Jumper...and me. Now I know why I don't like to sleep in shelters. I had a horrible nights sleep, but I was in great company.
