Day 3: Pine Forest Moor to Pelion Plains

You learn something everyday.  Today I learned I don't like leeches.  I didn't read anything about Tasmania or the Overland Track having leeches.  Grady found one on his pack during our lunch break at Frog Flats.  It was awful, creeping and wiggling.  After that I thought I felt them all over me.  At one point I thought I had one on my face and I turned around to ask Grady if there was a leech on my face.  To my surprise, he said yes!  And then proceeded to pull the bugger off of my eyelid!  I ended up finding three others on me at various times during the day.  Other than the leeches, it was another fantastic day.
