8 November 2018 Thursday
Awoke to another sunrise from my hammock. I never get tired of see these. To bad I don't take time at home. Get too busy. I do get to see them on morning runs, but not every day.
Packed my gear and headed out for a nice day of backpacking. That is when i noticed my new arrival. They finally came. I got my backpacker legs. I was able to hike from shortly after sunrise to just before sunset. I had minor soreness. It is a great feeling. I forgot it takes about 5 days to get used to the pack and hiking with 40 pounds on your back.
I saw some wild life today other than squirrels. I saw a doe, but she ran off before i could get a picture. I also found a herd of high schoolers at one of the views. It was scary so I left quickly.
Today since I by passed the shelter at 7 miles I needed to find another water source. I added 8 miles so Friday i only need to do 10 miles. My water source to day was a spring bubbling up right next to the trail. I filtered the water and took 3 liters. I need some for dinner and tomorrows hike. Hoping the rain holds off until afternoon.
