JUDD hits 100!!! - Sep 20, 2013 - Day 11

Paul Simon singing away--the sun is bright. This might be a good day to dry out. Shift into Mark Knofler and EmmyLou to Ghetto the top of Albert Mtn . There's even a fire tower and spectacular views, I bet, if it wasn't all socked in and misty. Last night, in Carter Gap shelter a roundish Georgia fellow showed up, retired after 35 years on the rail road. He did love to talk. He showed up after dark with very little water so D and I spotted him enough for supper. He tried to find the spring but he didn't have a good sense of direction. We kept seeing his light bouncing through the woods in the completely wrong direction. He tried again in the morning and got lost again. We had to walk him down to the spring . One of the peculiar things about Dave (Dave's not here) was he carried mouse traps with him because he hated vermin and he set his mouse traps every night. Last night we didn't hang bear bags but we did hang the food bags in the shelter on "mouse preventers." ( Can lids with the string passing through, hang your bag below and supposedly the critters can't get at it. )Rumor has it that the Cuban fiber, whatever bag I put food and garbage in, is rodent proof.
Hey! I just hit 100.1 miles!
