After a good breakfast, resupply chores, some coffee, and ice cream, I
got back on trail. It was a very late start, but it was worth it. My
dad had started ahead of me while I was avoiding the start to the day.
I am not a fan of the heat. And it sure was hot today. It slowed me
up a bit, but the trail was really easy today so I was still able to
keep a decent pace. I caught up to my dad near the end of the day.
I saw the first moose droppings for the trip. I didn't think they
ranged this far South. Other than that, a few ponds, and a hazy view
of Mt Greylock, the hike was fairly uneventful today. I did run into
Longshanks and Corny though.
Tomorrow we will either go to the shelter half way up Mt Greylock or
go to the Lodge at the top. It depends on how long it takes us to get
there and how we feel. I had been warned that this is the first real
climb since Virginia. It is something like 2500 feet up. Nothing
between here and Virginia has even come close to that. Hopefully the
heat doesn't actually kill us.
