Day 8-Liz 94.84-110.71

We've become known on the trail as the ladies who find the windiest campsites, last night was no exception. I swear the winds could have blown a small child away. I've never been in winds that strong. It lasted all night and into the morning and the heavy fog didn't help. We thought we would wait for the wind and fog to calm down but by 8 we decided we had to pack up and leave. The only good thing about the fog staying all day was that for once we didn't have to worry about snakes or the heat. We rejoiced at the 100 mile marker, only 26 more of those to go. Our feet are swollen and in pain due to blisters, but we're pushing through. We seem to be in the middle of the pack of hikers, that's fine by me. 
We've stopped for the night and set up camp in a creek bed. Hopefully it's not windy, we're both using our tents, for practice when the rain comes.
