The Fool woke up at 6:30 a.m., packed up his tent and began Operation Shoe Retrieval! He hid his backpack behind some trees and started back towards where his old shoes were, about 5 miles back. As he neared his goal he got more and more excited and apprehensive, finally imagining a group of homeless men in a wrestling death-match for the shoes. "The only rule: No beard tugging."
Happily the shoes were there, intact, no wrestling men in sight. He then walked all the back to his backpack (mile 17 on the trail). He ended up walking another 17 miles to the town of Fairmont. He found, to his delight, that indications of a $33-a-night motel in the town were true.
