The Fog

Sept 5, 17 miles
Left the bird cage after 9am. Spook and I grabbed some breakfast and orange juice before we rolled out. No one wanted to hike on, but we have to the deadline does not help us out. Less than 600 miles to go, my body is worn and my mind is gone but I'll make it. Today was cloudy, cold and foggy, a example of what's to come. We hiked to Mount Greylock tonight, no raptors sighted. Vermont is tomorrow, my bitter enemy. Winter is coming. Night

Don't fear the reaper

Sept 3, 0 miles
Was going to hike today, but me and the crew weren't feeling it. Ate a nice breakfast at a gas station. Drank half a gallon of orange juice in one sitting. Laid on the couch until lunch where I ate 2000 calories of ice cream in one sitting. Immediately afterwords I passed out until dinner, where Rob bused us to a nearby buffet. Ate three huge plates of food before I was stuffed. My comrades did not disappoint, all eating large portions of food. We went to the house to drink some beer and watch the movie zombie land. Tomorrow we hike on

Upper Goose Pond,

September 1, 21 miles
Hiked all day to the Upper Goose Pond cabin. Spook and I night hiked the last 3.7 miles to the cabin.

The Bird Cage

September 2, 21 miles
Hiked to the bird cage hiker hotel run by Rob, a AT trail legend. Rob picked us up at night outside of Dalton, MA. He has been letting hikers stay at his place for some time now, a lovable man who remembers everyone. We got some cheese steak subs and watched the movie enemy at the gate. Was happy to have fresh clothes and a shower. Feeling good

Tom Leonard Shelter

August 31st, 21 Miles
Hiked to the Tom Leonard today. Flash and I were booking it today. Stopped at the Route 7 grill outside of Great Bearington. Flash got a hand burger and I ate a big steak with some dark beer. We night hiked 6 miles up a mountain to the shelter. At the shelter was a college group having a Firefox some orientation program. We got ready for bed and passed out.
