AT 69 - 3rd June (829.7)

The Priest mountain shelter. 


I had a scare last night. Woke and there was a millipede on my pillow. The issue in the dark is trying to identify what it is. First reaction is screaming!!!! Got back to sleep. Started early and headed to “The Priest mountain shelter”. Got two trail magics. Fresh fruit is so nice. Got to shelter and it started to thunder. Small amount of rain so lit a fires for marshmallow. 


At the priest shelter you are meant to write your confessions in the log book. 

Mine was this. 


BitterSweet confession. 

I confess, I pee in all the water sources. 

I confess, I poop right in the middle of the path. 

I confess, I impersonated a Forest Ranger and said I was issuing a ticket for a tent setup on the meadow just past a sign saying no camping. 

I confess, I just lied twice.

    I saw the plaque you posted. My dad was George C Marshalls personal aid at the Pentagon before ww11. George Marshall recommended him for officers candidate school and my Dad retired a Lt Colonel after fighting in Ww2 and Korean war. Alsoet my mom at the Pentagon.
