Day 86 - Leaving Pawling

Left Pawling. Noticed there is a collection bin where you can retire your US flags.

As I was hiking out I was hailed from across the street. A guy named Bill with Harris/Walz stickers over his car offered me a lift to the trail. Saved me an hour and great guy. On his way to work at a hospice.

On the trail I met Soda Bread, he and his wife are trail maintainers. Today they were out with their pot of white paint and were giving the trail blazes a new coat. Had a long chat, and gave me a banana and some delicious soda bread for which he is named.

Also saw a plant that feels like Lambs Ear. But the leaves are much larger than the ones I grow at home.

Fleeting saw two deer as they sprinted away. Mostly just caught sight of their white tails bobbing up and down as they disappeared deeper into the forest.もっと詳しく
