Day 108 - Docile Deer (17/10/2016)

I woke really early this morning, and instead of forcing sleep, I started the day early. I was hiking by 6am, which was well before dawn. I hoped to catch a sunrise, but the trail stayed to the west all morning.

The plan was to hit the next Wayside and get some lunch since I'm a bit under stocked in the pantry area. On the way I picked up Cinderella and Waterboy, and we passed an owl, and two deer who did not care about us all. I was within 5 yards of one who just slowly wandered away a bit.

I've also started meeting a whole new set of hikers: flip-floppers who started going north from Harpers Ferry to Katahdin, and have now returned to go south to Mount Springer. So far there's Spidey, Nine Bears, and Add Coffee. I'm curious to see how that changes the trail experience. 

Start: around 1254.8

End: Bald Mountain

Distance: 22.4 miles
