"Gurgle Brook"
I wish I could see this place again, even if only to hope for that wonderful feeling once more.Happy Birthday MOM! I broke my first 100 klicks today. I should be much farther buy now but I was dying for a bath. I found the most beautiful little brook next to the highway. I dubbed it "gurgle brook" and made camp. When you finally see the pictures you'll know just how beautiful it is. I had a bath (my first so far... peeeyew) in the chilly, red water. I think it's the dirt here that makes it red. I also scrubbed some of my lighter laundry and hung it to dry. It is so peaceful here, the sounds of the water drown out the roar of what few cars go by. This little patch of the world fills me with such peace that I could forgive anyone everything they've ever done to me.
During the night, I heard a lot of splashing in the water. I couldn't see any shadows moving or even an animal sniffing around the tent, but it kept me up most of the night worrying. As the sun rose the next morning, I watched the frozen dew steam off into the air and smelled the life returning to my glade. I also caught a few glimpses of small fish that aught their way upstream, splashing and causing a ruckus. I'll wrote some poems today. I'm not going to leave Gurgle Brook until tomorrow. Some of my cloths are still wet. I only wish I had some one to share this spot with.
