The woods here are very pretty, lots of moss on rocks, crystal clear mountain streams tumbling down rocky slopes to numerous ponds and lakes with small beaches and pebble bottoms. And, at this time of year, no bugs! Today, we saw a moose, a buck with small antlers. A moose is huge, friggin huge! Imagine something the height of a horse, but with the girth of a cow. Amazingly, it ran away down the trail and then into the woods with virtually no sound. We saw this with bears also, they have the ability to either crash through the woods, or just stealth away.
We haven't decided yet, but we will probably zero here tomorrow, then head out into the 100 mile the next day..TBD though, maybe a slackpack tomorrow then a zero as there is a hiker feed in town saturday and Sunday sponsered by Whiteblaze.net. Shanty is in town, and has been for a couple days, Sideshow should be in town tonight or tomorrow early. It would be cool to hike out all together, but who knows.
