Comments: Walking day. Explored a new access road running parallel to the river. :) Reminded me of the high country in Yosemite -- rocky, hardy vegetation, dry, bright, and no one in sight. Explored more of the trails running through the woods between the bridge and mile #21 marker. Found a bees nest in the hollow knot of a tree. The bees (not honeybees, not sure exactly what they were) were going in and out rapidly. Saw salamanders today. Mostly heard them. They scurried away quickly at the sound of my footsteps. Met one man on the trail on the way out who I said hello to, and he said, "Cheers, don't get sunburned." :) I thought he was Australian, but after the second bit he sounded more New Jerseyish. Discovered circles of stones in one bit of the trail. I imagine kids build them, or perhaps pagans come out and perform ceremonies there. No sunblock today, and forgot the towel, but not necessary.
