And now the catch up- September 5th

20.4 miles
We left the emergency shelter and hiked to North Adams to resupply. The guys went to friendly's to eat some burgers while songbird went ahead to avoid night hiking. We crossed into Vermont and talked to 8 southbounders. We stayed at the Conydon Shelter area. The rolled into the area at 10pm. The shelter was full of section hikers, did not make me happy one bit. Set up my tent, ate some chili on tortillas and went to bed.

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

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

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
