Train whistles sounded clearly in the night, making me think of home.
Even early in the morning the scenery is showing more variety than recent hiking.
I met southbounder Brazil Nut early in the day, and no other hikers later on. She reported on how rare the water sources are ahead of me.
The trail passes by the ruin of a trestle. Fallen trees seem to help support the structure.
