Jen did see a deer, see pic.

Jen also learned that at the brewery we ate at last night the are offering free tenting and free use of their showers! So guess what we are tenting at the brewery and had beer and great food again!

We had dinner with a family that the father and 11 year old daughter are hiking and the mom is supporting them. Was great to hear their AT hiking stories.

We both saw the memorial for the 4 year old boy who died on a mountain back in 1891, memorial is here. You can hear about this story in an episode of The Green Tunnel podcast. ...
