I woke up feeling rested and ready for my day. I was excited to get to Corliss camp that evening. I had seen pictures of the camp and the shelter and my thoughts (before and after) were “I could totally live there”. I was up and out early, before any of the teenagers were up. I wanted to try and suffer through my breakfast alone and although I felt rested, I was not ready to chat. I forced down some coffee and cereal and started on my way. I had a 1000 ft climb up Mount Belvidere with wet socks.

My first night on the trail was as disastrous as the first afternoon. I had never slept in an open shelter before and my anxiety was completely out of control. I was concerned about waking up to 1 million bug bites on my face, being extremely dehydrated still, my bear bag missing, sleeping through my alarm, having to pee in a camp full of guys and so on and so on. Just as most worries go, none of those things manifested themselves, apart from the dehydration.
