So much for serenity
The excitement of today's run occurred at 30 minutes before sunrise as I headed back eastward to my car after running west from the GS Road to a point past Black Eagle Falls.
My reverie was shattered by eruption of gunfire below me along the river. Some manly assholes apparently are goose hunting right in the middle of the frickin' town. They must have synchronized their watches because the atmosphere went from silence plus the flow of water to the crescendo of a 4th of July show. There's no possible way they were shooting at flying birds — it was still little less than pitch dark out. That tells me they were doing what we used to call "Arkansas-ing 'em" (i.e. shooting them on the ground. Sick, scary and unsportsmanlike. It does explain the little cadre of pickup trucks that had moved into my usual parking area the past few days.
Anyway, I figured my run totaled two and a half. It had rained overnight and the trail was wet, and there was some mist. The overcast is probably why the predawn wasn't lighter.
2.5; 9.5; 16; 174
