I arrived at Wilber Clearing shelter at around 3pm and had it all to myself. Filled my water, built a fire, and set up my tent in the shelter to keep the bugs off me.
Managed to get only one blister the whole trip, due to the hard day climb up and downhill, the long steep downhill on the final day would be even harder on my feet, but due to good hiking boots, good socks, and judicious use of my hiking pole, I managed to keep blisters and foot pain to a minimum.
