I'm currently at the home of friends in Sherman, CT: Amanda, Paul, and Anna Chase. They live .2 miles from the trail and have been gracious enough to host me for a zero day. I am, once again, being treated like a king while I rest, recover, and resupply for my next leg. I knew that I wad getting close to their house when I almost bumped my head on a bag of cookies suspended over the trail.
And here is what greeted me as I came up the road from the tail head:
The trip over from Vernon was tough. There was some difficult terrain, including several hand-and-foot scales up rock faces. I made good time, though, by getting up early and hiking hard as long as my legs held out. Most days were >20 mi, so I'm tired.
Tomorrow (Sunday) I plan to head towards Massachusetts. The next break will be longer and may contain a non-trail adventure. More on that when the time comes.
In the mean time, here are some recent photos from my journey:
