Stayed at Otter Creek Campground in Danby, VT.

Passed several neat places today.  This bridge across the Clarendon Gorge looks scary (and apparently it really is).

Later, I came upon this pile of rocks stacked one upon another:

Rock statues near White Cliffs

The picture doesn't quite express how detailed the statues were, and how many hours upon hours it must have taken to build it all.

I had a maildrop at the Post Office in Danby, Vermont (the plan was to be there on July 29th).  By the time I got there, I didn't feel like hiking back out to the trail so I stayed in a nice little campground called Otter Creek Campground.
