Day 6- Antlers campsites -> Cooper Brook Falls lean-to

I thought the terrain today was fantastic!- flat with not much mud, not too many roots, and tons of nice shade. Faith keeps a nice pace and enjoys breaks, so I had a wonderfully relaxing day hiking with him.
I got my food drop today, which I was so anxious about because I wanted to see how many days worth of food I had left. I didn't have much :/ I'd still be having to pull 15 mile days with a bum knee in order to get out of the wilderness without going hungry.
I have always been a person that believes that things happen for a reason. Today showed me another reason why I had to meet Faith and hike with him. Earlier on in his hike, Faith had met another southbounder named Mosey. Mosey had also gotten the same food drop as me and Faith knew Mosey was ahead of us on the trail. When Faith sees Mosey's food container at the drop, he notices that there is still food in there along with a note. Mosey had written that he had too much food and apologized for leaving it. So, I got to pick up Mosey's food! That food now gives me plenty to be able to go through the wilderness slowly and not run the risk of causing serious injury to my body! I was so ecstatic- the universe provides!
 It only took us until 1:00 p.m. to reach Cooper Brook Falls, which gave me a lot of time to rest my legs. Faith structured a way for me to prop up my feet with his sleeping pad. I stayed propped up like that for the rest of the evening, reading and writing in my trail journal.

Relaxing in the lean-to

Trail food amazingness: use cheez-its or whatever cracker has been crushed up in your pack as a bread crumb topping on dinners. Delicioso!
