Dennytown Road

8/6 ~ Campsite on AT, N of Dennytown Rd (8.3 miles hiked)

Hard day today, even at only 8 miles. I can't even believe how much I backslid on trail conditioning in two weeks. The trail here is all PUDS of about 500 ft. It's pretty tiring. We can smell smoke from the forest fires around Bear Mountain. Hell, we can *see* smoke too, and it's kind of scary.

I'm really too tired to say much. More tomorrow.
