April 26, 27, 28, and 29, 2005
 PAGE 3
     Left Roaring Fork Shelter about 9:00am. for Deer Park Shelter about a 11 mile day.
     Not much change in the trail or type of hardwoods.  Pines, hemlocks, rhododendron, laurel began to appear.  The valleys were green and lush looking.  The higher the mountain the less green, mostly winter browns with few leaves sprouting.  On Bluff Mt. there were huge boulders covered with greens mosses and liver wort.
     The weather change from sun to rain!  With my rain hat pulled down, I didn't see much of the trail other than my feet.  Clouds covered the valleys, so no views.
    Arrived at Deer Park, very cold from the soaking rain.  My thumbs wouldn't work!  Wrong Way Grace had to unbuckle my hooks on my rain cover so I could get into my backpack to get my coat and some dry clothing.  I had hot chicken soup for supper and after that went to bed.  I was anxiously waiting the arrival of my husband and Simon the next day. (Friday) in Hot Springs.
