3/15 Cooling off


3/15/2007
15 miles hiked today, 48.3 miles N
At Blue Ridge Shelter

Today was a steady hike. I think I am getting my rythm. There weather has been wonderful the whole time until now. There was some drizzle this afternoon and it feels like something bigger is rolling in.

Last night when I went to collect my water I thought I saw something small swimming in the spring. This morning I saw there a few things living in my water source. I tried to get photos but we will see if they come out. One looked like a white&transparent Roley Polly and the other looked like a newt perhaps that was smaller than match with tiny feet.

My other observation for the day is that the privy at Low Gap appears to be ADA compliant. No matter that is on a 30-40 degree slope it still has a ramp to get in, wide areas to maneuver and a grabber bar.
