4/22/21 Barb made oatmeal hiked with me about 5 miles going by beautiful Laurel Falls. She decided to move on from the area so said goodbye. Sorry to see her go but what can I do. Back to Piper and me.Unfortunately next shelter like 18 miles away so hiked only like 6 miles to Pond Flats unofficial campsite some section hikers are here. Weather still too cold when sun isn’t out.
