Warmer this morning but still cold, hi 30s. Beautiful day hiking today. We did 13 miles. We passed up another shelter to get some extra miles. Tomorrow we have a choice of shelters depending on our distance. That depends somewhat on the weather. Getting cloudy and looks like rain may come tonight which will slow us in the morning.
Lunch beside a stream again today. We are definitely in coal country as we saw coal laying on the ground and the trail was black in places. After lunch, the trail crossed a stone arch bridge near a lime facility. They divert some of the stream through lime to increase the ph level to counteract acid rain. Good for the trout. We saw some wild azalea and dogwood today, both blooming. Have not seen seen much of either.
We are camping in the tent again. We are in a state park, beside a stream, but between two highways. Hope it doesn't rain until after after we start hiking.
