Secret Shelter

I hiked about 7 miles yesterday. Since I was doing an out-and-back, I only covered 3.5 miles of the great and mighty Tuscarora Trail.

After entirely too much climbing, I arrived at the top of the mountain and discovered a trail shelter that was not mentioned in the guidebook.

According to the sign, this is the “The Wagon Wheel Shelter.”

I crawled inside and read a bit of the log book. I almost dozed off before I realized that I had no flashlight and no sleeping bag, so it would have really sucked to have woken up, freezing in the dark.

I think I am going to do an overnighter soon. Camping in the cold is nice. There are no snakes or bugs, and the bears are hibernating.
