Today was a big day, 22 miles. I certainly got an earlier start than yesterday, but I still felt as though I was dragging my feet for most of the way. My pace is normally faster.

At one point, I came across this:

And for once, I wish there had been a sign, to explain. I accepted it and hiked on.

The day was not too eventful, as it was mostly constant hiking, but I did recently run into two unlikely people. The first, Guthook, designed the AT app I use for my phone. The second was a friend from home, David Rice! I was so surprised to see him, and couldn’t believe that he hiked that section right when I happened I be hiking it.

It’s a magical trail, I suppose. I’m looking forward to what happens next on the trail!
