cloud pond lean-to

19.1 miles, 2082.9 total.
don't think I like the 100 mile wilderness very much. it drizzled all day but waited to rain until I got to camp then it began to pour.
wide variety of terrain today, but it was all slippery and wet and muddy. had to ford 4 streams so my feet and pants were soaked most of the day. went through beautiful old growth forests with lush green ground cover and lots of moss and lichen. I think. :)
last part of the day was a short but difficult climb from 900 feet to 2400 feet over Barren Mountain.
this shelter is .4 miles off the trail on a poorly maintained side trail. I fell in the mud twice just getting to the water source. ugh.

later,
