It was supposed to rain, but we pressed on, and it ended up being beautiful. Chilly but pleasant. Just cold enough to make you appreciate the warm fire. Plus the sound of the river to lull you to sleep.

Hard to beat!

    I didn’t even realize the bridge was out until we walked past it haha. Technically, if you wanna break the rules, you can still cross it, it just has no railings. We didn’t, we didn’t need to. We parked on the MRT side, near Sarah’s falls. But later we hiked out for a beer run, and reparked by the dam, there’s a little bit of parking there.

    We did significantly less actual hiking than normal, we were waiting for a 4th who never came, so we stayed put. We found a good camp, set up shop, and stayed there for two nights.

    This past spring though, we did the whole loop over 2 nights, that was pretty fun.

    The cold wasn’t too bad honestly! A couple of base layers, a puffy, and a warm fire was all we needed. Besides bedding 🤷‍♂️

    I almost didn’t even use my hand warmers. But we had a coon sniffing around camp at 3am, and I got cold running around shooing him away.
