🌜Long Branch Shelter

Today I traveled 15 miles from the top of Standing Indian Mountain to the Long Branch shelter. Highlights included the fire-watch tower on Albert Mountain with a huge steep climb to summit. Also a dead-zone forest which seemed to be populated with high altitude trees that were all dry/dead and covered in spooky moss. I crossed mile marker 100 today! Staying tonight in a shelter built in a wooded hollow with sounds of a babbling stream nearby- a cozy retreat since there are thunderstorms lurking. Things did ultimately clear up and I could see the blood moon lunar eclipse quite clearly in the early AM!
