Day 71- out of the snow

A day with no snow is so nice. By 3 in the afternoon I had 30 miles done. In the snow it would take all day. I began just past the Quincy-Laporte road and worked my way up a large trail. I didn't see anything special in the morning, but when the afternoon came and it began to get hot I saw lots of deer. One fawn was just in front of me and ran down the trail about 100 feet in front of me. It would run ahead and then wait for me to catch up and then run ahead again. Since my camera's zoom got ruined when it got wet, I did not get any pictures. The large hill climbed today was rewarded at the top with a view of a giant valley with no snow. We wound our way around the hill and then I saw an awesome sign saying trail magic was taking place at a couple's cabin. I hooked up with the couple raven and lovebird and we walked to their cabin. At the cabin we found beverages, snacks, laundry, and a shower. When they got back from town they cooked us tri tips for dinner with corn salad and rice pealoff. It was awesome. Tomorrow I will be getting into Beldin and getting a new camera and new shoes.
