April 25, 2016 - Finished last training hike

 A small spotted newt, dead and dried. I brought it home to show Pat and Julie.
It's currently enjoying the sun from the kitchen window sill.

     I made my last training hike today. I was out at the private preserve again. I tried to finish every trail I could find there before the AT trip. However, I know of at least three very short trails haven't explored. Time has run out, it's time stop training, pack my backpack and start the serious AT hiking next Sunday.

 Some of the bottles I found on the trail today, the green one is a Whitehouse vinegar bottle

The map of the trails I've hiked at the private preserve to date.
 The ones circled in red are the trails I hiked Monday.
The hike was just under 5 miles but there was some 
serious uphills, bushwhacking and of course the 40lb pack.
