Day 72: Eight Hundo

I don't care what the calendar says, it's summer. It's so muggy we start sweating as soon as we start walking around camp, at least at the lower elevations.

Our morning was about 4000 ft of elevation gain, and our afternoon was losing it. But with other ups and downs on each side of course. On the way down we passed the 800 mile marker! Yeeeyeeeee!

We also saw what we think is a young pilliated (sp?) Woodpecker. We haven't seen an adult, but they are supposedly huge. So either this was a broken adult that couldn't fly and they aren't that big afterall, or it was a fledgling not quite ready to fly and they are indeed huge. This guy was the size of a small chicken.

I'm tired. We are at a beautiful campsite by a brook. Time for dinner.
