Sept 18 - Camping on the edge of a cliff

Lots of ups and downs and bridges today. A south bound hiker scared a deer into almost running me over. Scared both of us. Saw a note on a tree that said "you will make it to Canada". Camping at a vista a few miles from the 2200 mile mark with a cliff that drops off a few feet away. Tonight's dinner; Japanese noodles soup and fresh cauliflower with pasta and broccoli with real bacon. And a whiskey night cap. Later in the night a SoBo section hiker came through in the dark. Squeezed him in behind me on our cliff side roost and shared some whiskey.
