News travels fast and in strange ways on the trail. Yesterday, we were up early to hit the trail to make the best use of our resupply point here in Daleville. At about 7:30 am Fire Fly comes across some chicken scratching in the trail dirt. We stop to figure out what it says.
We read, "Osama Bin Laden is Dead" scratched into the dirt. We thought, wow, could this be true - and who could have scratched this into the trail since we were the first out of the shelter that morning. We wondered whether it was a joke or true.
Turns out it was true...and John Wayne strikes again with another massive day of hiking. He hiked passed our shelter at about midnight, putting in a 31 mile day and ended up getting the news on his smart phone at about 12:30ish and decided to scratch the message on the trail. Found out it was him that did it yesterday when everyone was asking about who might have done it.
