Achievements:

Today was my second day of slackpacking.  Eleven miles into town, almost all downhill.  It was the first time I marched with others and told stories making the day go fast.

The views were great.

Uncle Jonny's Hostel is right off the trail.  There was a good gathering of people.  While discussing shoes, I discovered I blew out my shoe.

That changes the plan for tomorrow.  Instead of resupplying today, I'll need to go into the town proper and buy a new set of Lone Peaks as well.  That means I won't get out of town until the afternoon.  Oh well.
