Amicalola Arches

Today was my first day and I made it to three forks by 6:00 PM. I'm already cleaned up and ready for bed. I could have easily kept going, but I don't want to get injured by pushing too hard. I have to ease into it. it is extrememly hot (mid to high 80's) and the bugs are very bad. My driver, Gil, was a really cool guy and everything with him worked out. I got to Amicalola at 11:30 AM and started on the approach trail at noon. The approach trail was a royal pain. Surprisingly tough. I took lots of pics at Springer and am looking forward to my day tomorrow. Hopefully it cools down a bit. Write again then,
