Broke camp at 8:35. Crossed Clark's Creek and started up a mountain. We met 2 snake hunters abd were relieved that they hadn't found any. After talking a while, we hiked on and reached the summit of Stoney Mountain. We met 2 guys at Yellow Spring site. They were on an overnight. Talked for a while. Don set a good pace but I had trouble keeping up. Stopped to talk to a birdwatcher. Passed old mining sites and came to Rausch Creek. After putting on bathing suits we sat in the middle of the stream and bathed. Reached Rausch Gap Shelter at 3:30. What a gorgeous place. It has everything imaginable from a patio to piped in water. An old time hiker named Warren Thompson was there. We invited him to eat with us. We still had an overload of food. Ed and Flo Bausch came in to camp soon after. This was a really nice day. Lots of nice people around. Enjoyable evening.
(Laurie forgot to mention the outhouse with the translucent roof which felt like you were in an odd spaceship)
