There was quite a lot of thick brush on the lower part of the trail and I was thankful we weren't tackling it at the height of tick season. The goats didn't mind their panniers scraping between bushes.
The first day was the hottest, and my goats had spent most of it sitting in the sun while we waited for Gayle so they were quite thirsty despite the easy work load.
You know you've found the perfect campsite when beams glow down on it from heaven.
"Well, hello Spot!"
I worked out a pretty good system for milking on the trail. I'd tie Petunia to a bush so she could eat, plop my inflatable cushion on the ground next to her, set my milk strainer in an empty bottle, then milk straight into it.
I chilled the milk overnight by placing it in a creek. I don't drink coffee but I love my milk in the morning. It's filling and it gives me energy to last for several hours, which is good for someone who isn't much of a breakfast eater.
