Big Branch is a great stream to come to on the Long Trail. You can swim in it if you can stand the cold water and the shelter had "Trail Magic" in it the night that we stayed there. Trail Magic is when somebody puts a container full of snacks and candies for any thru-hikers along the trail so they can enjoy some good food. It's incredible. The shelter along Big Branch was just that. Another good day on the Long Trail.
