A very challenging day today. Climbed Whitetop Mountain and Mount Rogers, and it rained all day. And it was cold. Very challenging.
Near the summit of Mt Rogers, before coming down into the Grayson Highlands, I met a herd of wild ponies. They were very friendly. The first pony I encountered ran up to greet me and began licking my trekking poles. He followed me for a while, licking me and my jacket and walking poles all the while.
By the time I got to camp I was spent. A very challenging day today.
Staying at Wise Shelter in Grayson Highlands State Park.
That's a good picture of a pony licking your pole
