Hiking Club Cross-Cape #7

This past Saturday, I completed the 7th portion of the Cross-Cape hike, traveling about 10 miles from Wellfleet to Providencetown. I use the word "about" because on this trip, we did not have our guide. We instead had to rely solely on a map and compass. This caused us to get lost quite a few times, resulting in a longer distance than planned. I also learned about having the right gear, as I brought hiking sneakers that I forgot were cut up in the back heel, causing them to constantly cut my right heel/Achilles tendon. I also brought a poncho, which was torn to shreds during the bushwhacking portion of our trip. Our next trip is Sept 25-27, a backpacking trip that I will be much better prepared for.
