A warm muggy day. We waited until afternoon showers were done before heading out to hike. We talked to a man who had seen 4 bears on the trail, but we saw none. At the top of Haw Creek Overlook, I leaned over, and out flew my water bottle from my pack :(  It rolled down the cliff face. It didn't reach the Parkway. We could see where it landed, but sadly it felt too risky to retrieve it. I don't want to fall off the cliff face. I hate leaving it there. I'll go back in a few days and see if it has fallen off the cliff face so I can retrieve it from the road.

Happy to be back on trail after not hiking for 2 days.
