8 miles today, which isn't bad considering we didn't hit the trail 'til noon. Had to ship our bounce box forward to the next village we will be visiting, and stop at a pharmacy. Saw some notes from hikers warning about rattlesnakes, but we didn't actually see any. We did see a race track from the top of Sharon Mountain today, that was different. We got some "trail magic" today, a trail caretaker saw us on the trail and gave us some fresh brownies, then in town a cafe offers free tent camping on their property. So, this is where we will spend the night. We met a new trail friend "Swan" today. I had a nice conversation with her, and we will have breakfast at the cafe with her tomorrow, in preparation for the 95+ degree day and 1000 ft ascent we have up Prospect Mountain.
so its kindof weird how you hike through populated areas like every day. I thought it was more all up in the mountains, alone, with only bears and snakes. But there are cafes too.
