Well, as I said, the hostel was an interesting experience, but we made it out alive. The owners cooked pretty well too.

The trails were still mostly muddy from yesterday, so I ended up hiking a lot of the “secondary trail,” which is just the area on either side of the trail, where it is usually less muddy.

There was also still a good amount of snow left in some areas, so we had a snowball fight, among other fun activities.

Because of the mud (my excuse), I only hiked ten miles today, but I am planning on pushing a bit faster to get to the upcoming towns and catch some other hikers.

Hoping for a big hike tomorrow. Tonight is supposed to be cold (last night was record low), so I am getting all my warm stuff ready now.
