Out of the Rain ! 6.5 mi

5/25/2017

My overnight was uneventful… I’m sure it was because of the expert anti-bear tactics… It’s truly amazing how dark it can be at night without any light sources like a city or the moon or stars…. It was so dark you couldn’t see your hand! I’m on the edge of town tonight watching it pour rain…. A good call if I say so myself! So today was my Nero day which means low miles (near zero). Tomorrow will be my first Zero day… I’m overdue. I’m glad it happened on a rain day… Hiking in the rain is no fun and brings an added dimension of danger with it; the rocks, roots, and leaves all become ice slippery. I tried to get a pic of the mountain tops but you can’t see them thru the rain and fog or the screen!! Tomorrow I will resupply and stop in at the local outfitter for a water bag since mine sprung a leak, get a new rain jacket since mine sprung a leak, and I think a chocolate shake!! Yum
