OHT MAINTENANCE 5/31/08 |
It seemed to be a little foggy |
....it didn't look foggy anywhere else |
Ah, it helps to wipe off your camera lens, that's better! |
The water was a bit cold, but felt gooooood! |
Looking down Buck Branch |
Looking up Buck Branch |
It is hard to see, but this is a "big" bear track. We followed it for quite awhile and it was pretty fresh. We lost it right before we entered into the Chancel Spur, but were looking over our shoulders the rest of the day. |

Entering the OHT |
We were already sweating at this point |

Mile Post 119 |
|
We found this type of thing in several places along the way |
...some we would have to reroute the trail until the "chainsaw boys" arrived. |
We dipped our hats several times today to help keep us cool |
Mile Post 120 |
We would need natures "sticks" to keep us on top of the rocks |
...and most of the time it worked |
Lunch break and lots of gnats, but you can't see them, we could! |

There were still a lot of wildflowers |
Mile Post 121 |
|
We could have used a little more help, where was everyone today? |
At the "Famous Rock" |
|
It was like a tropical jungle and we were in the Ozarks |

Mile Post 122 and getting close to the end, hey! |
We would refresh ourselves in Buck Branch, felt very good. |
This would be the end of the trail and the end of our tenth season. |
...and now 2 miles to our vehicle |
...and one last creek to cross |
...but the concrete helped this time. |
