And loooots of it! In fact, we grossly underestimated how packed down the snow would or wouldn't be. Opps. Lesson learned: next year, I'm going out with snowshoes.
This trip, we set up our sleeping bags in the shelter. No tent. It was so nice waking up, right to the sun and seeing the trees and sky, and no tent around you :) This is kinda like my home shelter. It was my first shelter I stayed in, and this hike around here, which I've done several times, was my first hike in PA. And the first place I stepped on the Appalachian Trail :) I'll be super excited when I get here this summer, walk around the resevoir, and there's the shelter!
For dinner, Matt and I made this recipe he found in a backpacker magazine (so I certainly can't take credit for it!). Chicken flavored ramen, can of chicken, oil, soy sauce, peanut butter, and garlic pepper...so tasty. Like, honestly, I would eat it in my house. (great food for the unemployed! Cheap!) If anyone wants the actual recipe, I'll be happy to share!
On a side note, I officially put in my 60 days notice to my landlord over the weekend. It's super official now, but hasn't completely set in that this is really happening...probably won't until I get dropped off in Georgia haha. So unreal :)
