8:30 pm , EDT . Update on the first day .... Well , I got on the trail about 11:00 this morning . It took longer to get to the trailhead than I had planned .

Question: What could have caused the delay in finding the trailhead ?
Answer: The trails were well - kept and easy to navigate .The walk was only a short distance from their starting point .None of the above choices .The trail was longer than the writer expected .
