Jeff's Hiking Trip

So Jeff and Andy went up north on Thursday to start their thru-hike of the Superior Hiking Trail. Something like 250 miles total. They stayed in a hotel on Thursday night and set off at the beginning of the trail on Friday morning. Sounds like they hiked 12 miles and it was a tiring one. I got a call around 7pm last night saying it was raining but they got their tents up before it started. They were worn out and calling it a night. This morning's update was "it was so cold last night. I was okay but Andy almost froze to death. There was ice on the tents in the morning. We hiked on to Gooseberry Falls this morning and hitched a ride with a couple of campers to the car. Then we drove to Duluth so Andy could get a better sleeping bag. It's supposed to be worse tonight." So they are thawing out in a hotel tonight and picking the trail back up in the morning. Around 10 this morning when I checked the weather page it said 36F in Two Harbors. Brrrrr.
