Day 107

2068
27.4




Neon and Dragon asked if we were section hikers and when we said no they said Oops sorry, you guys are just so clean for thru-hikers. Dragon has a carabiner through his ear and Neon has a fox tail. There are some strange strange people in the world.

The huckleberries made a serious dent in our morning mileage we only made about 8 before ten. But there were so many and they were so big and delicious. Ate so many.

No views at all today. Just trees. But the forest smelled like sugary pine and sun ripened huckleberries. It was magical. I wish I could capture that scent and be able to relive that smell whenever I wanted.

Ankle is doing well. Tape job is definitely bringing more confidence back into my step and I trust it a bit more.

At the end of the day Emily got to a ways a ahead of me and the trees were dark amd spooky and I started to smell some kind of animal and got a little freaked out but I came around a bush and the animal I smelled was Emily waiting for me!

Here is what I ate today:
