23 May Sunday - Dennytown Rd. Campsite

Cloudy and humid.  High in low 70s.  It was "about to rain" all day but it hardly rained at all.  Arrived in camp with it still threatening but got the tent up while it was still realitively dry.  Now it looks like the rain is gone.  My kind of rainy day!

We saw 2 snakes,  2 deer, and lots of chipmunks.  I'm mention chipmunks because we have seen so many this last week.

Met several section hikers today.  One had a Cocker Spaniel smaller than Isis.  He says she always hikes with him (15+ miles a day).  Guess Isis is out of shape. 

Another named the Wandering Astronomer has been hiking many years and was an amateur astronomer.   Met some astronomers while hiking which led to getting a job in astronomy.  A few years later he met his wife while hiking the AT.  The trail has been important in his life.
