Day 96 (September 28)

We had a delightful, 17 mile hike today, still continuing along the AT in Shenandoah National Park. There are supposed to be bears in abundance in the area. A park ranger armed with a shotgun and rubber bullets for hazing a recalcitrant back into the wilds said the bears spend all day up in the trees eating acorns. I believe it. It has been a proliferous acorn year. They have been raining down on us since Pennsylvania. I haven't seen a bear since Massachusetts, though. 

Here's an old guy that looks and smells like a bear. Take care.

  1. Mr. B. I love that you used that great rhyme. If I was you I would do that all the time. Speaking of which I think I'll go enjoy a lime; but only if I have the time.

    P.S. You look like a Santa Clause that sticks to a strict diet of trail mix and a healthy dose of exercise. Just thought you should know.
