Day 39 May 23 - It's my birthday and I'm hiking!

Day 39 May 23, Days miles 17 AT Mile 603.7
Stayed in tent at Jenny Shelter
Hiking time 8 hr
Pass plus/minus - nill
Critter Rescue - 5
Total Deer seen - 3 +6 = 9
Bear cub - 1

So today is my birthday and the trail gave me the gift of wildlife today. Saw a lot of deer 6, and Jen saw a bear cub and we saw a bunny.
Had a great breakfast sandwich at a trailside store, but no diet coke. Seams like hikers want the calories so these trail side stores dont stock diet sodas.  The sandwiches powered us all day, I usually eat 3 or 4 protein bars or crackers and today I only ate one on the trail.

Some views from today.

Crossed a major highway.
Crossed the 600 mile marker.
It was a good day hiking, we got to the shelter early and had time to socialize with the other hikers as they came in.
