06-04-13 Seeing Our First Bear Together



Woke up early and took advantage of the picnic tables and indoor plumbing at Elkwallow.

Today was our last day in the Shenandoahs--no more graded trails, no more waysides or camp stores, no bathrooms. We're back in the deep woods.

On the descent from Compton Peak we saw our first bear! It appeared from uphill out of the brush, crossed the trail, and continued downhill into the woods.

Our day finished at the Tom Floyd Shelter. The shelter is really nice, but the camping is terrible. We walked down a side trail for awhile before we ever reached the tent pad. It is nice and secluded though.
