Election day, shadowsue and I elected to go hiking.
Seemed the best choice; vote for the incumbent crooks
or vote for new crooks.
We started at High Falls just after daybreak, the water flow at the falls is very low.
The 4 miles on the Odum Scout trail to POC (Pinhoti, Odum, Chinnabee) intersection clear of new deadfalls
and easy to follow the beaten path. This trail had yellow blazes at one time, but now someone has painted
over them with brown paint.
The seasonal stream at POC has water and the 4 or 5 seasonal seeps between Heaven and Adams Gap also
had some water but may dry up soon. This section also was clear of new deadfalls and easy to follow even
with all the fresh leaves falling. There is adequate blue blazes in the boulder fields where it is sometimes
difficult to see the treadway.
I would say the leaves will be close to peak by this week-end. We saw no other hikers on this 10 mile hike,
but 1 campsite just south of POC had fresh ashes in the fire pit and someone had left 6 or 7 cans of vegetable
beef soup at Heaven.
