Graduation Day

Saturday, May 17
Mile 407, Sulphur Springs Campground

Graduation day! If I wasn't on an epic aadventure today, I'd be donning a cap and gown and accepting my bachelor's deploma with all my friends. Haha, suckas!

Laugh Track and I both graduated from UM today! She's been carrying the tassel this whole hike, just for this momentous day.

I did walk. 24 miles of hot uphill slogs, but a lovely descending afternoon. Spent the whole day with Magic Stick and Laugh Track, who I was grateful to have during some confusing rerouting for an endangered frog. I was chatting with Special Sauce when we discovered my favorite kind of trail magic: a box full of fruit! Snagged an orange, and it was the best. Thing. Ever. I wish I could just eat oranges for the next 3 days.
