"Certain experiences may be transmitted by language, others - more profound - by silence... Never mind. Who says that experiences are made to be shared? They must be lived. That's all. And who says that trust is made to be revealed? It must be sought. That's all." (The Genesee Diary). I would love to share my experience on the Trail with everyone back home, but there is so much here that I cannot begin to express. This hike means more to me than just what I publish on my blog, but in order to discover the wonders of living in the woods for 6 months, you all need to try this yourself!
Edibles we've been adding to our diet: ramps (wild leeks), dandelion leaves, violets (both leaves and flowers), morel mushrooms.
We saw a tiny, two inch long black snake yesterday, with a yellow band around its neck. It was pretty cute, and Adam kept saying it was a worm. We also got to see wild ponies! So cute (pictures on Adam's blog). One of them had been well trained by previous hikers; when we sat at the shelter for a midmorning snack, it moseyed its way over to beg for food. It tired going through my open pack, so I had to shut it or it might have taken off with my gloves!
