I begin today’s hike with 10 sneezes LOL it appears something bloomed over night that my body is trying to expel. Fortunately after that the sneezing ceased and my hike continued as planned. I headed up the Dead Chief where a sweet squirrel was breaking open a nut. The pounding on a log was what drew me to it’s location. Every squirrel is a strong survivor from our winter storms.
