On this day, (there can be no finer) it has that cool crisp feel to the air (61 degrees as high today) and great for walking. The park had a Doggie Day and it was fun watching the dogs run and play with each other. My walk in the woods was interesting. A strong storm had passed through last night and it brought about 2 inches of rain, and hail, lots of hail and also strong wind. We lost electricity for about an hour. So I was wondering if there was any damage to the park. Sure enough there were several down trees on trails. White Lick Creek was much higher than I have seen in a while but not threating.

Now to this idea of walking out of Georgia, I have been following 4 couples who are with in a few Days of ending this 5 or 6 month hike. They will be summiting Katahdin  Maine very soon. How do you even grasp the fact you have walked 2176 miles. For right now you just take in in as best you can and move one.

As I seem to find it fun to compare and pretend I were on A.T. trail I have been looking up what the area would look like at each point and at 85 miles I would have entered 7 miles ago North Caolina. There is a shelter called Muskrat Creek Shelter, NC and as I "Googled" this area I saw a video of a man at this shelter dealing with this big black bear. Now this comparing this hike to a A.T. hike ends when bears enter the picture. Meeting one on a trail far from my campsite and from any civilized area is just a bit out of my comfort zone. Now I am glad I am hiking in Williams park in Brownsburg and the most threating thing I might cross is a squirrel or something in this order. No,  I will settle with this great imaginary hike, that will be just fine.

I still find the bathroom or lack of it to be a major issue and unless it is raining  I would not take on a shelter for they have mice fecies and who knows what else. Oh well maybe I would just get use to it and think it no big deal.

Today was a short one I didn’t have much time but 3 miles is better that no miles. I took some pictures of the trees down in the park from the storm Friday.  I was so excited this morning for I have been working for weeks on understanding a concept in the bible and this morning in the bus while studying it just came to me. I got it and for me this is great and so while walking I keep making sure as I ran scriptures through my mind that I had got it right. So it was another beautiful morning for a walk. I got a lot done at home as well. Great Day.
