Today, we climbed…. first 1,000’ up Fork Mountain and back
down a 1,000’ then 3,000’ up Floyd Mountain which was a steady uphill for
almost 10 miles. At the top of the
Mountain we walked onto a beautiful clear bald and the Apple Orchard Mountain
FAA tower at the top. There as a patch
of mowed grass around the tower and everyone who came up sit and took in the
views and the warm sunshine. After a
30 minute break we headed out and on our way to Harrison Camp site for the
evening. A little past the tower we
saw the Guillotine (Large Rock wedged over the trail. As we started the decent the camp site we
were watching for bears. We knew that
the next shelter had been closed due to bear activity so we had to go to the
camp site several miles past it. When
we arrive at the blue blaze to the Thunder Hill Shelter we learned new
information not only was the shelter closed but the Harrison Ground Spring
campsite also had bear activity so we set our sights on the next campsites
another 4 miles away at Marble Springs. We arrived after 6:00 at Marble Spring
campsite after a long 24.1 miles.
