Day 105 ( October 7)

Wow! It's been a contest with the elements the last 24 hours. It rained all night, but we were dry in a shelter. Mice were all snuggly last night, though -- they kept running across my sleeping bag. We had a good hike, but now the rain has unloaded on us again. We set up in a thunderstorm, and it's feeling like an all-nighter. Tomorrow we hit Dalesville so spirits are bright. Here are a few things I saw today: a couple of vistas and some mushrooms. The latter are often brilliant colors. Take care.
