July 14th Part 2:


Flora and Fauna: We saw a deer pooping in the woods just like a dog. We had to stop and watch.
1.We met Dave from Des Moines Iowa. He was a politician, state senator and now a thru- hiker a the age of 64. He's finding a peace and solitude int he woods that you can't find everywhere.
2. Anne and Elizabeth reflected today on where our thoughts come from and how we process ideas in the long hours of hiking.
3. Anne wondered "It will be a sad day when Alex Trebek retires from Jeopardy." That was about as random as when she thought we should all be the 7 dwarfs.
4. Phone calls from Logan, Mom, Melissa, and Shannon lifted our spirits.
5. Anne thinks of Elizabeth as an older sister, especially in the way she gets teased.
6. Maryland and West Virginia are behind us and we will begin the roller coaster tomorrow.
7. Bill a thru-hiker of 84 and a man of many talents believes it is more difficult to section hike the AT then thru-hike.
