After doing 33 miles on Thursday I spent the next 2 days relaxing at Trail Days. To give you an idea picture venders from a state fair mixed in with backpacking gear venders & couple 1000 hikers. Ob friday ended up getting my haircut, still have the beard, and i also gave blood. It was a lot fun, was able to see some of the people I had hiked with for a few days. Saturday there was a Hiker Parade with past and current thru hikers. The locals lined the streets some with water balloons and squirt guns, ton of fun.
The other big thing on Monday while hiking came across maybe 30 wild ponied, 3 groups in different areas. It was pretty cool to see, I was able to get some good photos. I counted 8 new yearlings with the groups.
The weather has been pretty gloomily the last few days. Rain on and off with no sunshine. Staying pretty dry but would like some sun.
Stats:
Days: 31
Miles: 503.2
Bears: 0
Deer: 6

Turkeys: 3
Raccoons: 1
Turtle: 1
Wild Ponied: 30

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time at Trail Days, I'm sure the locals have as much fun, Glad you're spending time to enjoy the surroundings as each place has a story! Wild horses are great to watch, we have them here on one of our beaches nearby. Enjoy each day!
