This morning I was still a little soggy from my storm escapade the night before, and it didn’t get much better as it’s been crazy humid. However, hikers are pretty good at laughing off the dampness. It’s also been exactly 1 month since I started my journey!
I can definitely tell I’m getting close to New England and some real mountains now…the climbs have gotten a lot longer and more frequent. This is Caleb’s Peak:
If twice wasn’t enough, I got hit by trail magic for a third time for lunch! Thanks to Tinkerbell for faithfully serving hamburgers even though most of his customers were in town watching the World Cup.
In between the climbs, I walked for quite a while along the Housatonic River where it was completely flat.
This afternoon was rough with humidity and a virus I picked up in New York, but I did get to spend some time with my new friend Rooster. Looking forward to town in a few days!
