Berries and Bears

Things are going great! I'm hiking with an older gentleman named Longhaul, now on my way to the 501 shelter. I hiked 25 miles yesterday, which was suprisingly easy. Today I'm hiking 18 miles. Already I have come across trail magic (treats left by others), cold sodas and freezy pops. Also saw a black bear while hiking today. I've been enjoying cherries, mulberries and blackberrys along the trail. Everything is awesome here!
