I was a tad sad to leave the beautiful Duck Hole, but the thought of hot shower and pizza sure win over the romatic sentiment of lingering in the nature. I'm getting outta here! The trail was a lot easier to follow in the day time and it was much drier without the rain. we made it out to the parking lot under 4 hours, at around 2:45 PM. At the parking lot Kim and I gave Jason his belated birthday present, a galon of Tabasco source :). I think that will last him about... 1 month.
On our way out, we also stoped to check out the old furnace remain along the road.
