Well…it was an odd day on the trail today but I felt okay so that is one little plus…and, there were snakes on the trail again but there shouldn’t be…in one two mile section, there were about 20 little snakes about the size of just hatched ones sitting on the trail…had to swerve to miss them and I wanted to stop and pick some of them up but I’ve done that before so the attraction was much less…there was one other thing that happened that was just so cool I had to talk about it…on one of the downhills in a tunnel of trees, a hawk was flying right up the trail at me…when he got about 20 feet away, he did a 5 G pullup straight up and disappeared into the treetops…fun thing to watch….
