At 7 AM we got up well rested and ready to start our second day on the trail. In the beginning of the day we had a steep down to the next shelter. At the shelter we filled water, and rested for a bit. After we got back on the trail we had a huge 5 mile up to the top of Thunderhead Mountain, where we would stop for lunch. The hike up was very gradual so we were able to do it in about 2 hours. We hiked fast because it was going to rain soon so we wanted to eat some lunch first. The top of the mountain was enjoyable. For lunch we had some more chicken casserole. (pics below)

From the top it was all easy down and flat-ish to the shelter. When we were about 2 miles away from the shelter it started raining. So we had to get out our rain jackets and hike through the muddy slushy trail. We reached the shelter at about 6 PM. There we dried off, and changed into something warm. We had dal bhat, it is rice with lentils. We then got in our sleeping bags and went to bed.
