Here are a couple of pictures of an off trail campsite I came upon. It was at the end of a long and exhausting day and I was beginning to wonder where I would spend the night. Because the area around the trail was all thick scrub and underbrush, I thought I would not find a suitable site.
The sun was no longer visible and I knew I better find a place soon. As I was going along, I noticed the slightest hint of a faint path through the brush. I dropped my pack and set off into the woods, trying to follow this path. I thought it may have been made by animals but after about 5 minutes I came to one of the nicest spots I have seen to set up camp.
I went back to the main trail for my pack and could just about make out the sound of running water. About 50 yards further down the trail I found a running brook to use as a water source. I have heard of Trail Angels on the AT, but on this night, I met up with one who was on a different path. :smile:
A place to sleep!
And in a separate area to the right...
A place to eat and enjoy a fire!
