Rivers, Waterfalls, Oh My!
Miles: 15
Despite some not so great things happening yesterday today was fun. We passed two larger waterfalls and I climbed up to one of them with green and took a shower in it. The second one everyone had lunch at. Right now I’m at the shelter I ended up at last year when I hiked this section. I might regret deciding to sleep in the shelter here. Seems like there’s a lot of mice but maybe they aren’t too bad. When I really look at them they seem kinda cute. I hung my bag up but I’m still hoping they don’t mess with it. Anyways stopping at the waterfall today and climbing it to take a shower reminded me why I’m doing this. The walking is good exercise but ultimately it’s doing stuff like that which makes the experience fun. I miss having Zero around and I hope her leg feels better. There’s another very cool waterfall I get to see tomorrow. I’m very lucky. Short one sorry! I listened to a podcast for the first time on trail today. I love Terrible Lizards, it’s a dinosaur podcast that balances academic heavy research with fun. Dr David Hone is the host and does a lot of cool research and the co-host is a bubbly author that is kinda like his foil I suppose (literally term usage there). The episodes I listened to today talked about marine reptiles and their ancestors, spinosuars and how they’re misrepresented in media, and the nanotyrannus paper. Apparently the nanotyrannus or the “fighting dinosaurs” display is in North Carolina which made me sad I missed it. I didn’t know that. Don’t even know if it’s out to the public yet though. The nanotyrannus is real! Also I cut a little piece of fabric to make mudkip a little scarf like what the characters wear in mystery dungeon. Don’t have the bandwith for any photos but I have some brewing up. Catch you next time.
