Monday, 6/20/2011

Monday was the second day on the trail. Before we left camp, we taught them how to filter water. Then we hiked down from Cow Camp Gap Shelter on Appalachian Trail across Cold Mountain. Afterwards we hiked up to a camping spot on Mt. Pleasant.

We arrived in a cloud, which later poured down rain on us.

Meanwhile, back on the home front:
