• Trail began back there
  • A deceptively gentle up 1st day. Up the Big Creek Trail. Nice day though!
  • Trekkngirl comes up the trail...No sleeves in Nov!
  • Big Creek Trail up to walnut bottoms CS #37 follows this creek named, go figure, Big Creek.
  • Trail crosses the creek in several places
  • Nice little waterfall along the way
  • Plenty of water here.
  • One of a couple of bridges across the creek
  • Somewhat more rustic bridge
  • She only looks warm!
  • 1st night out...prety darn chilly but oh such good sleeping
  • In my warm cocoon
  • 2nd day begins up to mt. sterling ridge trail
  • Hmmmm...
  • The hike to this junction was a b---h and I'm still not at the top
  • Photo op to merely catch my breath
  • From this junction though I did get to do another 7.6 mi. of the BMT
  • And it goes up thataway another 1.4 mi and 700'
  • My 1st view of the mt. sterling tower.
  • That .04 mi. to the water seemed a lot further, especially coming back up
  • View through the trees below the tower
  • These views need no explanation
  • Ditto
