Sallie & I now are known as "Lefty & Poncho"
We have hiked 450 miles in 31 days. Traveling through five states. We have encountered: deer, rabbits, vultures, snakes, hundreds of chipmonks (which sallie give chase to when they squeak), hundreds of Red Efts, toads, centipedes, catipillars, butterflies, but most stingingly 2 porcupines, the second one left its quills deep in lefty's snout which set us back slightly including a trip to The Greylock Animal hospital, We should thank Barb, Paul, & Eathen who were out for a morning hike and became our trail angels driving us to the clinic and getting us into the system under their names. we started lefty on a 2 a day antibiotic to prevent infection, this evening i found 2 quills that had gone all they way through her jaw and came out sharp end first. WOW!!!! (it hurt me as much as her to pull it out)
The trail is a great way to explore the beauty put on this earth! Every day I find myself starring at a magnificant views. meadows, mountains, valleys, creeks, cliffs, forests!
