Due to outbreak of trail virus I have tried to avoid contact with other hikers as much as possible. Using lots of Sani-wipes and avoiding hand-mouth-eye contact. Do realize many times a day you rub your eyes or touch your mouth?
Tonight I camped atop a mountain. I shared my camp with a fire tower and some type of microwave tower. No problem until 3:15 am when the thunder storms started. Wind and lighting were intense. Flashes of lighting created a cartoon-like X-ray effect that was...freaky! You could hear the wind before it hit. Like a jet engine warming up. Then it hits your tent like someone is outside shaking it. You are only separated from the elements by a sheet of nylon and a few pieces of cord. Storm broke just before dawn and other than packing up a wet tent no problems.
