Yesterday I hit the trail once again. I increased the ruck weight again to 45 pounds for this one.
Yet again, the same trail had a difference appearance as fall is really putting on a show and leaves cover the ground.
Makes your footing a little bit more interesting as you can't see the rocks, ruts, and tree roots waiting beneath the leaves to make you do the Don't Fall Dance.
I did multiple laps around the trail, keeping an average pace of just under 20 minutes a mile per lap.
Interestingly, I did not see a single deer this time. As it was Opening Day for firearms deer season, they may have decided to make themselves scare, even as there is no hunting allowed in the township, and the deer seem to know that.
Fewer people were on the trail than the last time, and that number will keep declining as fall falls into winter.
Not a bad ruck of 4.5 miles.

Even though no hunting allowed, Be sure and wear some Hunter Orange (more is better) when walking in the woods.
There are idiots that do not properly identify their target before shooting, but hunter orange *helps* them to know that you are not a deer.
B beat me to it. Definitely wear orange...
B and Old NFO: excellent point. I’ll be wearing a blaze orange hat on walks from now on. Ruck has a neon yellow reflector on the back so that hopefully helps as well.
