March 28th, 2010

The rain began during the night. It has continued all through the morning, across noon and is coming down even greater this evening. The tent is semi proof with water seeping through the seems.
After a late start of the day I left for the Simpson Reed trail. It is a few miles west of camp and was a very positive surprise. I must have shot at least 20 shots today - so for a day of taking it easy this turned just the opposite. Despite the many pictures, the trail system is fairly small and allowed me good time to explore the limited area. As you leave the trail, a sign reads "remember to be thankful for having such forests to visit." This is true. The American park system is one of the greatest hits this nation has produced.
Camping is just getting by on a night like tonight. I don't particularly like having wet clothes to wake up to - or to be this exposed - but things could be worse. A cabin would be ideal - a place I'd imagine staying for longer periods of time.
Still getting cramps easily - not sure of the cause.
