Start: 1195.28 roadside camp
End: 1213.83 cow camp

Finding water is getting trickier. The main source of water seems to be artesian springs… Which for the first time on trail I have been drinking unfiltered. Cold and good.

Apparently I went to bed in the middle of the stomping grounds of free range cows. Every cow has a cowbell. Not the most pleasant way to sleep. They run away from hikers… Except me since I am laying down. I can’t seem to scare them off no matter what I do. There is cow shit everywhere, I wonder if this is one of the privately owned sections of trail or if they are not actually supposed to be here.
