Day two.

Here's three photos from Thursday's hike from Stover Creek to Hawk Mtn shelters. The trail was good except last couple of miles were steady uphill. I found out the 3000 foot heights are harder for me than similar grades in ATL.  See the big tree with the den hole.  The tree was at least 4 ft diameter. So potentially a very large mammal is sleeping is hibernating there.  I did not go look.
