And just like that I'm out of Connecticut. One more state down, 4 more to go til the flip. Last night I stayed in Lakeville, Ct at a pizza joint. Eddie thank a lot for being such a gracious host and for letting me sleep in your restaurant. I got a pretty early start this morning, and given the amount of beer consumed last night I'm happy with my 16 mile day. I took more pictures today than I have since I got the camera. I crossed the highest peak in Ct, the 2nd highest peak in Mass, and in Sages Ravine passed a series of awesome waterfalls. The views today were the best so far, Bear Mnt,Ct they say, is the view where the idea for the AT came to be. I'm at the Helmlocks shelter tonight, no real company save these 2 day hikers who disappeared about an hour ago, hope the bears didn't get to em. Tomorrow its into Great Barrington for subway then onward to the upper goose lake cabin for the night. The cold is begining to creep up in the mornings and evenings, I hope my gear and myself hold up. The new sleeping bag rocks though. More concerned with clothing but we'll see...Alas another thru hiker has arrived! That's all I've got for tonight.
Live vicariously through me.
