Journey On, Day 100
Farewell Bend State Park Campground
I would like to walk down to the river but the steep trail prevents me from doing so. The problem is not so much walking down to the river, gravity will do most of that, but it is the climb back up is what I am afeard of.

Farewell Bend State Park Campground, Site 111
Awake to a very windy morning and decide that there it too much wind to light my stove, so I dress in my spring blues and step outside to open the rear lift door and retrieve some food items, those which will enable me to have a cold breakfast and cold drink.
