29 2155.2 7/13/2021 overcast, smokey. Justin and I woke at the AirBnB at 4:30 and dropped me off at 5:30 on trail. The first part was an 8 mile road walk. Just afterwards I met another hiker named “Uncle Walter”. Then next were grassy hills. The climbs were very steep. And there were a lot of them. Around noon I got off trail and when I tried to get back on trail I goofed and started hiking SOBO. Oh no! I didn’t catch my error until I had gone 3 miles. So I had to hike back 3 more miles. This wasted over three hours. So instead of ending around 5:30 pm I ended at 8:30 pm. It was a very very long day and I’m exhausted, but I made it to my planned endpoint.
