Aug 1, Cold Spring Lean To (the map guide said, no water within .6 of a mile) - (not so there was a little spring .1 of a mile)
Had knats fly into both eyes today. Also got a milkshake at a little, but very busy, roadside stand. It was not the best $4.65 milkshake that I have ever had, but on a hot day and after allot of miles who is to complain?
There was thunder and lightening in the area this evening and some sprinkles but no rainstorm. I built a drying fire and also warmed myself up. There are times when the temperature drops making a sharp contrast between the hot sweaty hike and the cooler evening in the shade of a shelter that makes me feel chilled deep inside.
