Mountain Laurel

11.5 miles today - hiked most of day with Mountain Man again - hiked with patches today (his left leg/foot gave him some trouble) - we hope he will be OK. Today we hiked through caterpillar woods - the gypsy moths hang from the trees and are all over us - they eat the leaves from the trees - when it falls, it sounds like rain - they will be spraying in a few weeks to prevent the moths from hatching eggs again (I just found some in my tent)

Since Chipmunk left the trail we have problems like -1. forget we have a picnic for lunch - 2.lost a bandanna - 3.almost forgot the dirty bag for water filter. She was the one that secured our area before we left.

Well I must sleep now if I want to be ready by 7 AM in the morning.

Have fun - we do!
