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.
