17-May-2000 ~ Scott Farm (10 miles hiked so far)
Got here a good deal later than I'd have liked. I know that's no surprise. I did see some interesting stuff today:
world's tiniest monarch blue jay so vibrant that even in flight it looked almost purple sign reading "livestock may approach. do not feed or touch" (none approached)
Also, I had to walk through a field of cows. They were even blocking the stile. Mostly, they got out of my way, but they looked fascinated. I guess it's the big eyes because, theoretically, hikers go through there every day.
As you can see below, it's been dead flat so far. Scott Farm is located at Conodoguin Creek on the profile below. Dinner time, then 4 more miles.
