Cranberry Swamp.

Our first night's camp along Cranberry Run.

Day 2

Boggs Run, second night's camp.

Like Egyptian slaves, we used wood "rollers" to move this new bench into place.

Day 3

Soon into the third day we ran into this impassable trail blockage. Pat and Saki cut a tunnel through this and several others through the course of the day.

Pretty Diamond Back Run after another harrowing steep descent that was typical of this trip.

Red Trillium (Trillium erectum) AKA Wake-Robin, Stinky Benjamin or Stinky Willy, found by Pat as we began our last climb of the trip along Drake Hollow.

Smooth, flat walking on the final leg, Bens Ridge.
