04-27-13 A Shelter in the Rain Somewhere

Listened to the light patter of rain on our tent then loaded up and headed north. It sprinkled off and on all day, but the terrain was pleasant; we were on the ridge most of the day.

Close to Tennessee Highway 91, a church had dropped off sodas and snacks for us, which certainly hit the spot--thank you!

Across the highway we walked in open pastures, which reminded me of the Dirty Kanza. We even saw cows! (And cow patties).

We reached Double Springs Shelter in the afternoon and debated how to proceed. With rain in the forecast from that moment until Sunday night, we opted to stay and wait out the night, crowded but dry.
