I was surprised to spy a rat at the bottom of the well. It hid before I could take a picture. I was tempted to remove the sticks to make it harder for it to climb out, but I’m not that mean. The rat has more right to be here than I have.

I’ve seen this well full to the brim. It’s looking like I may need to re-think my plans for Day Two. I’ll study the map. Tomorrow I’ll cross several creeks on the North Loop, not to mention Little Paddy Creek, maybe I’ll find a creek with water in it that I can camp nearby. I want to be a bit further on than Little Paddy Creek Though.
