The woods are lovely...

My tent is bright orange - a blight on the landscape. I'm confident that I can walk 50 yards off in the woods and not lose sight of it.

To reduce weight, I carried just the tipi section and not the floor, so my sleeping bag is directly on the dirt. To reduce the wind blowing through (it was a cold night) I surrounded the base of the tent with long sticks, then piled pine needles to fill the gap. During the night it began to rain, which made the pine needles pretty heavy, further sealing the bottom.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep...

Here are two sections of the trail. It's not at all obvious that this trail climbs about 1500 feet in the first two miles.

I saw a total of three people this weekend - two on Saturday when I was cooking dinner and one on Sunday when I was walking back to the car.
