Matt's Creek shelter day 2

Two days ago we climbed up Bluff Mt., where there is a sad memorial for Ottie Cline Powell, age 4 years 11 months, who strayed 7 miles from school in Nov. 1890. The marker on top of the mountain is where his body was found the next April.
Murky and misty as we descended to cross the James River. Unfortunately Rodney became sick after lunch, so we stopped at this shelter. We spent yesterday sitting out the rain, and the freezing temperatures last night, but Rodney still is sick so I hitched into town for more food, as well as this stop now in the library for more books and to recharge my phone.
