Miles ~16
Total ~ 258
Deer count: 9
We met a baby deer today. It ran right up to us and licked us and loved us and followed us and we worried about how to make it go back and wait for it's mother. While it was the most adorable pest, it was a problem when we couldn't make it leave us alone. So, we called the Game Commission and the lady suggested for us to bring her back to the place where we found it, make it lie down and put it's head down. The lady said that mother's do that before they go off to rest after the birth. Anyway, we did that and then literally ran away. But, for all our work, she jumped back up and loved every other hiker that hiked past.
Today was along day for us. 15 miles with no real rest. Very tired but we finished up in Palmerton with a real Bang. Breakfast at Berts and then someone drove us back to the trail were we promptly met Fawn. The initial scramble up the hill from Palmerton was very fun with lots of hand over hand climbing. I'm glad we started refreshed and early in the morning.
