Sunshine!

So here's the deal. I would say I "order" you, but I will be a little
less demonstrative and use "suggest"...I will suggest that you get up
and go outside and play. We all need a little more vitamin D. Thats
whats the matter with everyone! There is just nothing better than
being outside on a beautiful sunny spring day. Nothing. Today I am
just going to have to call gratitude. It just doesn't get any better
than this.

Everyone carries burdens. I am fortunate enough to to be able to cast
mine aside for a few months in exchange for a 35lb one. So right now,
I am camped up on this mountain thinking about all the interesting
people I met today...Troll, Castaway, Charlie, Escargot, Snowman, Geo,
Free man, Hoogan Doogan, Dutchess, Not Bad, and Gyp-c from Melbourne.
Trail names are a trip! And you thought Rabid was bad. Ha.

I was thinking the other day as I heard gunshots down in the valley.
Let me get this straight...there is deer season, and bear season, and
turkey season. Well this is definitely thru-hiking season. They have
migrated en masse. Look out.
