Quick Check In - hiked 18 1/2 miles today




   Red Bull hiked to the Moreland Gap Shelter at mile 411.5 on the A.T., traveling almost 18 1/2 miles today.  The Shelter is at an elevation of 3,798 feet.  He has been very busy with hiking and recovery; he has been checking in briefly with little conversation.
   On the A.T. hikers are required to overnight in the vicinity of a shelter.  Red Bull typically prefers to set up his tent in the designated tent areas near the shelters.  This shelter is supposedly a six person shelter... I prefer a bit more personal space!
