What a start! The van got stuck and it took all of our efforts to get it
out!
Patrick, John, and Wes made quite a fire for us. Quite a feat given the
water-logged wood supply?
Conversation and cards provide our evening entertainment.
"Racetrack caterpillar" kept us entertained by his (her?) wanderings
on the rim of Jane's coffee pot.

We're on a salamander hunt on Locust Spring Run Trail.
Mike Hayslett, our "consulting herpetologist", helped us identify
the salamanders.
The catch of the day was two spotted salamanders. They matched
Nicole's salamander T-shirt.
Watch a movie (3.7 MB) of a red eft walking through the forest. (Requires QuickTime.)
Back in camp for supper and a good night's rest.

Miserable rain as we broke camp made for a long, hard slog back up the mountain to the trailhead.
