AT 63 - 28th May (748.9)

 Back on the trail. It’s so good being out again. The familiar bird songs, the alarm call of squeals. The smell of green…grass, trees, bushes, plants. The smell of rain, it sure came down after lunch. Body and Legs felt good. It was an easy elevation day so breaking back in slow. Very few people on the trail. I think American hikers look at the forecast too much. They seem to get off the trail at the potential of rain. In a shelter for the night to get dry and warm. We are near the Blue Ridge Parkway and we can get pizza delivered.
