We've seen several bears and deer, placid and not very interested in us. The photo of the Double Springs shelter shows a deer lurking on the left. The two bears were munching away very close to the campsite and spring near which we stopped for lunch. I'm used to bears in my neighborhood, but for the citified young guys it was a thrill. They also quickly moved up the trail to finish their own lunches away from the bears. Speaking of fear of bears, Robert Rdford's next project will be playing Bill Bryson in the film version of A walk in the woods, with Nick Nolte as his bumbling friend Katz. Bizarre but true, with some location shooting already started, on Stone Mountain near Atlanta. Appropriately, like Bryson, not actually on the trail. Folks are already worried about how this will flood the trail with more wanttobe but ill-prepared thruhikers.
