Day 35

Day 35 - Campsite before Campbell Hollow Rd. to White rocks Mtn. - 16 miles (408 miles total)

Aside frm the kid riding the ATV down the trail right past our tent last night before we went to bed, it was a quiet night/morning. Eventually the people who we saw at the shelter the night before caught up to us as we were taking our time breaking camp, and we had a chance to fully explain to them what had happened with the dog. It turns out that they thought he was just a drunk local scoping out the area looking for trouble, so they were weary of everyone involved. Most of the day felt to mike like we were just wandering around a viewless labrynth in the woods. Some really cool highlights of the day were Jones Falls and Mountaineer Falls, as well as relaxing on the bank of Upper Laurel Fork. We really appreciated the sheer awesomeness and almost modern look of Jones Falls and are looking forward to seeing more waterfalls up the trail. Later, we passed some unfamiliar thru-hikers who were staying at the Moreland Gap shelter, but because it was still light we opted to look for a secluded spot on White Rocks Mtn.
