I got an early, 6:00 a.m. start this morning after a great stay at Tom Levardi's in Dalton, Mass. There were still a dozen tents in his yard and three guys sleeping on his porch when I hit the trail that headed for the Cookie Lady's place 10 miles south. I saw two bears along the trail. Both were cubs; one ran away while his sibling shimmied up a tree. Boy was he fast, but I couldn't understand that option. He just looked at me. At the Cookie Lady's, I picked a quart of blueberries. She and her husband Roy have a beautiful farm. I also enjoyed a couple of Cokes, hard boiled eggs, and of course cookies. A great place and beautiful berries. I carried a quart to the Goose Pond Cabin where I'm staying tonight. Thumper, the caretaker will use them on the pancakes he'll be making. I have a bunk tonight, and I had a great swim in the pond. I made 23 miles today in great weather. Take care.
