My first official 'White Blaze'

The trail is marked by 2" x 6" white paint marks found on trees, rocks, and even telephone poles. They will be my primary form of navigation for the next few months. While this is not the first one I have seen its the first one of my first full day on the trail.  The trail is actually very well marked and you never have to walk more than a thousand feet or so before seeing one of these "White Blazes". There are about 160,000 of these on the trail according to some sources.  Don't ask me to count them, I will be too busy counting the miles.
