Yep, that's miles

Rained all last night and heavy clouds this morning. Reluctant to hike in this weather, however the forcast changed and by 1000 hrs things we looking positive. I got on the trail by 1015 hrs to do a short forest walk. The rain has opened the balsam scents of the forest creating a nice hiking atmosphere. While the trail is wet I'm able to climb at a good clip in the cool weather.  Just prior to the top there is a small view visible to the east.  I enjoy this for a while then carry on. 

I reach the top of North Crocker Mountain to find 8 young women from Quebec eating their snacks. They have taken over the top so I continue to hike. The summit did not have a view just a sign, so it's no great disappointment to hike on. 

A relaxing section

The descent continues for over 5 miles to highway 27. What's nice about this descent is that it's a slow gradual one, no steep rocky areas to climb down.  I pass many day hikers and some SOBOs today. I'm glad I got on the trail as it feels good to hike this section. After all this time my feet and leg muscles are happiest when hiking. When I stop my feet start to hurt and my legs feel stiff and sore. 

The significant feature of today's hike is I passed the 2000 mile mark. I now have 187.6 miles to the finish. Happy about that.
