My Trails

8/6/12 – 1587 miles
It was a short hiking day into Williamstown, MA, where I will rest for today and tomorrow. I hiked all morning with a German girl named Spring. I’ve met her several times in the last few weeks as we leap-frogged each other. She hikes somewhat slower than me but she walks long days and usually takes little time off. It was fun getting to know her and learning different culture aspects of someone from another country.

We left Mount Greylock about 8:30 this morning. We were hanging around the lodge hoping for some breakfast but all they brought out for the hikers was some toast – that was their continental breakfast.

When we got to the road into town, Spring decided to hitch in with me and get pizza. It didn’t take long for us to get a ride right to the restaurant where we split a medium pizza. After we ate and said goodbye, Spring hitched back to the trail and I went to check onto a room. I will be here all day tomorrow, resting my feet and building energy. Vermont is next and then the Whites.
