Chicadas

5/27/2013


Chicadas


We got back to the trail today , after taking a day and a half off.  We hiked 14 miles,  then got a ride into town on Saturday...planning to be back on the AT on Sunday Morning.  But Airborne had a giant infected blister on his foot, (I looked at it...he had been hiking on it all week, with minimal complaint....so I had no idea that it was that nasty...Airborne is hardcore....and I strongly advised him to get to the hospital....immediately....they gave him two different antibiotics)
 and sore knees,  and I was tuckered


out,  so we took another day off.   When we got back to the trail today,  there were a bunch of holes in the ground, all along the trail.  We were mystified until we spotted cicadas......everywhere.  It is the seventeenth year and Cicadas are emerging everywhere.
