Slept on the ground last night- that was fun. My air mattress decided it was her time to go and completely deflated on me. She did okay for a few nights once she first took on the leak but last night I was sleeping in an S-shape to avoid the roots and rocks under the rent. At least it didn't rain.
Saw a rattlesnake today! He was about 6" off the trail. Our friend Brian was thru-hiking behind us so we felt it was our duty to scare away the snake... with sticks and rocks of course. I've never angered a grown rattlesnake before and after this close encounter I really don't plan on doing it again.
Made gourmet S'mores for lunch today. Graham crackers, Peanut Butter, 2 Marshmallows and Cookie's 'N Cream chocolate. I'd definitely make those again.
Oh, I also chased some cows. They were on my trail.
One last notable event today - it rained! Took 28 days but Mother Nature finally got us with a heavy downpour.
