The Hudson River

Hiked 20 miles.
Left the shelter early and made it down to the parks concession stand. Was so happy to have coke and ice cream for breakfast. Hiked up Bear Mountain to a monument, then began my hike down the mountain. Reached the zoo that the AT runs through. The zoo is the lowest point on the whole AT at 160 ft above sea level. Crossed the Hudson river, and made my way to the Graymore center. The Graymore center was run by Franciscan friars. I had hiked in a pizza from a nearby gas station. Pizza box in hand, hiking to my shelter. The shelter area had electricity and running water, very nice to finally have. Pitched my tent, ate my pizza and passed out. Have 57 miles till Kent, CT.
