Mile marker: 571.3 Miles today: 15.3

First salamander & bunny on trail

Today, I definetly felt it!

I could feel that my body worked hard from the previous day. I went slower today.

The uphill made me work, but the view! So amazing & worth it 🤩.

I also started to feel pain on my left ankle bone…

As I was resting near the pond just before reaching the top, I saw my first bunny on trail.

Earlier that day, I also saw my first salamander. They are so small.

Just before starting the downhill towards Burkes Garden Inn, I arrived at Chestnut Knob Shelter.

I definetly feel that it is the shelter with the nicest view so far!!!

Also, the sky & peacefullness at the hostel that night was wonderful 🤗.
