April 5, 2016 - Day 18

Jill and Denise have been labeled the "Breakfast Club" by the younger hikers.  Ken most times just has coffee and then hits the trail with a protein bar. 

Our hikers hit Jacob's Ladder after 4 miles...a tough 700 foot climb in .6 miles with 10' switchbacks!

Ken said you could hit yourself in the butt coming around the trail; it was so steep and curvy. 

They arrived at the Cable Gap Shelter, which was a tiny cabin that should hold 6-8 but really only fits 4.  The shelter was full, so they camped a little further away along a stream.

Mile 159.2
Elevation 2,880
