This morning I said Goodbye to my Sweety, after being with her for the past 10 days. It is always very difficult to say goodbye to some one you love, knowing that you won't see them for quite awhile. But that also fires me up to see this hike through and get to Katahdin so we can get back home. At this point we are about 2/3 rds through. And today we entered Connecticut!
Today's hike seemed never ending. Up and downs, lots of rocks as usual, but we also had a nice hike by Ten Mile River. At this point the trail takes you in and out of NY and Conn. But at the end of the day you are in Conn. The pack weight seemed the worst since we began! Guess that happens when you are out of practice. Plus it was hot, til the rains came. So we were slow and tired, but still did 15 miles.
Got caught in a big rainstorm late in the day, causing us to not reach the campsite til almost dark. I really hate getting in that late. Cooking and eating in the dark, setting up your tent in the dark- all makes for a short evening and no time to relax after hiking 15 miles.
My pain of the day was the bug bite in my right ankle, which has swollen up and really hurts when I walk. Most pain since I first noticed it. Add the pack weight and going up hills, made for a long day.
