Our intention today was to hike 14.6 miles, but we fell short of that. After a short climb up to the great view at Wind Rock (picture below), we had a long descent in the heat down to War Spur Shelter where we stopped for lunch. It is in a shaded, wooded area by a creek, and it felt nice and cool. Soothed by the sound of rushing water, we decided to stay here for the day and make up the miles tomorrow. We then spent some time reading by the creek before a storm rolled in and made us move under the shelter and listen to the thunder and rain in dry comfort as we read. Not a bad day at all.
It is a shame you cannot stop by that creek all the time. What a lovely view.
ReplyDeleteOh my stars I want to be there :o)
ReplyDeleteMagge must have been in her glory reading on a rock in the middle of a creek. A cup of coffee is the only thing missing to make it more perfect.
ReplyDeleteEven though you didn't hit your targeted mile plan you made progress despite harsh conditions. That's impressive anyhow.
