Had Alpen and blueberries for breakfast - what a treat. Got an early start - 8:05. Had a small climb out of Little Gap. We're not moving very fast today - must be tired. Caught up with Dan after 5.3 miles. He was eating a snack so we stopped. Went 3.6m. more and stopped at Smith Gap for lunch. Ate tons since we have lots of food after hitting town. The last 3 m. were incredibly long. The weather is crumby! All fog - has started to rain so we all have wet feet. Arrived at new shelter - nice! Two hikers, Pete and Laurie came in from the Water Gap. Another thru hiker named Bob Bell caught up with us. Had blueberry pancakes for supper.
(Dan was the slowest hiker we had met - made us feel speedy! He was usually the first to leave a shelter and last to arrive at the next.)
