Beautiful day at Little Rock Pond.

Suspension bridge over Big Black Branch or Ten Kilns Brook

View from summit of Baker Peak.

Leaving Peru Peaks, lovely shelter by the brook.

@toesalad @karentogo Packing up for another day on the trail. Day 8. Today is the halfway point of our shared vacation with my parents.

Peru peak Shelter. After an easy 9 miles today in the sunshine and dappled shade of the forest we arrived at our destination by 3pm. So much time to relax so we washed in the brook - bodies and clothes, we built a fire, and I spent time watching spider webs in this gorgeous sunlight. It was a seriously relaxing and beautiful afternoon. Met Steve and welcomed Pepe & Sarah with dog Hope around 5:30. Hadn’t seen them since Storey Spring Shelter where we all hunkered down in the rain together.This is my favorite photo so far of our trip.

Spent part of the afternoon at Peru PeakShelter sitting by the brook and watching the sun stream through the woods and light up the spider webs. I love all the spider webs this time of year.
