Day 60 - Monday, May 20, 1974 - Cove Creek Leanto to Thunder Hill Leanto

14.2 miles - 449.3 cumulative miles

Thunderhill Leanto

Had a good time last night playing cards and solitaire and telling really bad jokes.

Left around quarter to nine and had an interesting day.  Lots of climbing all day.  Saw some fantastic undergrowth on Flat Top Mountain.  I was taking pictures all over the place.





Tulip Poplar flower.  It took us a while to figure out where they were coming from.


Had a nice view from Black Rock Overlook.  Wanted to go to Apple Orchard Falls, but figured I didn't have the time.  I was quite tired all day and I had a headache this afternoon.  Haven't been sleeping well since getting back on the trail.  Guess I have to get used to it again.

The guide book was wrong about the location of Thunderhill Leanto.  We figured 1 1/2 miles from our last rest break, but it turned out to be 1/4 mile!  We are the only ones here so far.
