The first day was full day of just straight trekking, with a hint of hiking. Skirting the Everfree, I mostly stuck to the road as it cut into plains, before I figured a good direction towards the mountains and broke off the path. Waist high Tallgrass kept me company, reminding me to check myself for ticks when I settled for the night. With how similar Equestria was to Earth, it was always a guess of whether or not they actually had the same thing, some comical variant with a horse pun, or just didn't have it at all. But out here, it was just me and my thoughts; clear blue skys, minimal clouds, and a soft breeze. Or it was, for a bit.
