Middle Fork
Miles: 17.4
First half of the day went quickly, second half pretty fast as well. Unscenic for the most part on these atv tracks with massive puddles (small ponds growing aquatic plants, lakes in the making) in the way. The forest is damp and cool with this stormy front through now and the duff under leaves smells of rot. Reached halfway mark ofthe entire Trace, an unnamed creek near dead turtle. Not a bad omen, nah. Road walk near screaming cars and break spot near weedwhacker with promise of restaurant dashed to pieces outside preschool, only a soda machine remains. Now, at terribly average Middle Fork and restless about having no sleeping pad, the cool is already wafting in below. Maybe they'll have something soft I can use at general store in Arvel tomorrow. |
