Before exiting the Buchanan State Forest, I signed the last trail register, pausing to reflect on how lucky we are to have the Mid State Trail. Thanks to DCUL for starting the trend and to Evan for getting me hooked.

The trail was well maintained. While there were some blowdowns, they seemed to be easy to pass. And we even saw some trail maintainers on Sunday too.

The creepy fog of the night before got even worse the next morning. It was like a delightful version of Apocalypse Now, in which swirling mist and shadows greeted our every move.
