I was putting on my shoes this morning, and I heard an angry buzzing.
Then I felt a vibration by my foot. Apparently there was a bumblebee
in one of my shoes and I put my foot in it. Fortunately it didn't
sting.
I passed through some nice sections of trail today. The trail
traveled through some pine forests and everything felt much more
open. It came down to the Ten Mile River, which was really wide but
not too deep. I stopped for a while and let my feet soak in the water.
I HAVE NOW COMPLETED MY NINTH STATE! New York is done; 5 left to go.
New York was more difficult than the Mid-Atlantic states, started to
have more changes in elevation, and had its fair share of rocks in
places. But, it wasn't bad. On to Connecticut. Connecticut is a
really short state ans so far it has been pleasant.
My dad was passing through the area and so stopped and met me at the
road leading into Kent, CT. We went into town and grabbed Chinese
food before returning to the trail. I ran into Darkstar, Castor,
Castor's Mom, and Sasquatch at the trail head. My dad left his car in
town and joined me for the night.
