Today was another deli-hopping day. The terrain was pretty gentle which was a nice break on my legs and the sun wasn’t nearly as hot.
Check out this flag I found painted on a mountain this morning. It’s a 9/11 memorial.
I spent most of the day with the other 3 hikers I’ve been hanging around for the last 50 or so miles.
We found yet another New York deli where we downed massive sandwiches. This week has been the first one where I’ve felt like I have true “hiker hunger.” I’d guess I’m eating well over 3,000 calories a day and feel like I can barely keep full.
The deli caused a bit of a “food coma,” so we napped for a bit before cranking out 12 more miles after 4 pm. Accidentally hiking late is becoming a bit of a habit, but I’d say it’s worth it if it means I can spend more time with hikers.
On my evening walk to the shelter I did pass this cool lake.
New York City tomorrow!
