Finished Amacolla Falls to Three Forks today. This is my second section hike and I'm getting better and stronger each year I section hike. One problem I had was the excitement to get up to Springer and I had a geat view but, a very bad smell of something dead took my breath away. The flies were horrific so I stayed approximately 3mins. and couldn't take it anymore. I was very disappointed but I made it to the top and was proud of myself. Then, as I am on the hike to find a water source at Springer Mountain Shelter, I was even more disappointed at the fact that there was no water source and the flies at the prevy were horrendous. The area was in disarray and it was pretty sad to say the least. It also looked like a bunch of folks left there belongings around the camp area and looked like it was sitting there for months. Anyway, I think more can be and should be done to clean up shelters areas as well as campsites. Thanks for listening yall. Keep hiking. Peace and love!
