Section 2 had areas that used to be forest, but fire or clear-cut had transformed to high grassland.
I had never seen an inflatable wildlife drinker before. Section 2 had no other water source.
Little Scraggy Trailhead at the beginning of section 4 is popular with mountain bikers on the weekend. Up to 200 bikes passed me during the day, I am just not used to that number of bikers, but I will have to be by the end of the CT. That is a lot of stepping off trail to let them go by. Mountain bike transmissions have gotten quieter over the years, and it is hard to hear them come from behind. Many bikers are reluctant to say anything when approaching hikers from behind because they do not want to startle them.
Scraggy has many large boulders.
I am ending the day early, completely tired.
Finished audiobook A Wodehouse Miscellany, by P G Wodehouse. (No listening during the day with bikes nearby!)
