At the Hole-in-the-Wall visitor centre, I recharge my cell phone and chat with Preserve staff and a couple of visitors

Chats with staff and visitors are enjoyable and insightful. I buy a bag of beef jerky and vegetable chips, and eat it all while waiting for my phone to recharge. By the time I leave, it's almost 15h00, a bit late in the day for starting a hike.
