O' session at Pelican Bay--11.1 kms, 34 controls. Uneventful, except when I nearly stepped on a mule deer fawn. And this wasn't one of those cases where I was a few feet away and the fawn got up and ran off. Rather, my foot was literally coming down onto where the fawn was hiding, and it wisely/luckily got up at the last possible moment and dashed off. The explosion of unexpected motion right at my feet completely startled me, and I came *this close* to stopping, ripping my map in half, and writing out a note to say: "Do NOT do this again!" Except of course mule deer don't read.

Quite cool out today--low 60s down in the valley, and lower than that up top.
