#8 Bopit Hikes-Watch this! 55 mile day-Biggest Day Yet-Rodman Dam to Lake Butler, Fl

Peaceful hike until I lead us off trail in a swampy mess. Explored two sweet shelters and stayed Ironbridge Shelter. the But then we did a huge day. I find that sometimes other hikers assume that my partner pushes me to do big miles. It bothers me when people doubt my abilities. Honestly, we push each other to be better hikers. Always reevaluating what we carry with us and seeing what we can do. We make a great team. Another hiker decided not continue hiking with us and that’s ok but his approach bothered me. I was irritated. I suggested we push from a 40 mile day to a 55. My partner was in and so we did. We finished up in Lake Butler with a 55 mile day, tacos, and a margarita.
