I woke up early, dropped off my rental car and took a taxi to the trailhead. Got started about 6:45. Today was hot hot (there was a heat advisory). Fortunately the path was relatively easy and well shaded. So it just felt hot.
Started at 2144.2, ended at 2125.1 for 19.1 miles today. Took the eagle creek alternative that took me passed tunnel falls. That was impressive. Using my new bivey for cowboy camping (also in my tarp).
Got lost for a while, awesome scenery, pleasant trail. My knee held up pretty good. Over-all, a very pleasant first day!
