It rained most of the night so it was a damp pack up, but as we left our campsite, the sky started to clear and we headed off with a rainbow ahead.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We followed Deep Creek canyon for most of the morning until it joined another creek where there was a dam.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The trail crossed the creek and required our first shoes-off wade. Very refreshing.<\/p>\n

On the other side there was a crew of about 6 volunteers doing track maintenance. A bit further on we met a guy out for a walk carrying a large white plastic bag – he collected rubbish from hikers (when you are through hiking you love getting rid of weight).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As we neared 4pm we were feeling a bit weary and it started to spit rain. The PTC joined a main road for a bit, and round the corner, there was a car parked with Fritz (trail name Lonely Turtle) with his dog Snapping Turtle. He opened his boot (trunk) and gave us each a slice of hot pizza and two cups of Pepsi. A great pep up to do another mile over the hill to our campsite, a very peaceful spot next to a reservoir.<\/p>\n

What you can’t hear in the photo is the Spanish polka music played by one of the fishermen who are here for the catfish.<\/p>\n

By the way some time today we passed the 500km mark – not sure where exactly – no stone markers because we are walking in miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
