This was our first campsite, and to be honest, I overestimated our abilities. We went 16 miles on our first day, and it was four miles too many. We were fine until mile 12, but those last four were torture. We should have stopped at Irons Mountain after 10 miles, but there was a pretty sketchy homeless guy squatting there, so we pushed on. There was a pay campsite at mile 12, but we didn't have a reservation so we had to push on. My feet were destroyed by this point. Very disappointed in my boots, as I had pretty bad blisters, despite them fitting well and tending to hotspots as they developed. After we got our camp set up, an upstream biker asked if he could share the site. There was plenty of room, so of course we had no objection. We told him we just walked here from Cumberland, he said, "What? Did you lose a bet?"
