Woke up with a sore throat. Medicated with gummies from Watermelon Man.

Today: A long descent, followed by a long ascent. Stopped by the Priest Shelter for lunch and a read of the confessions journal.

Trail magic in the form of freeze dried physalis in the valley. Hot weather, but hazy again.

Set up camp at Harpers Creek Shelter, which is packed with dayhikers due to the Juneteenth weekend.

Food supply is running very low. Will arrive in Waynesboro hungry for sure. Fireflies are out in force here.
