Day 59 (August 22)

I spent a great night at Mt. Wilcox South Shelter. Two other south bound hikers (SOBOs) and I were the only occupants. It rained during the night, so it was nice to not be in a tent. I left before the other two hikers were up and had a nice, 12-mile hike to Rt#7, which is three miles out of Great Barrington, Mass. I hitched a ride into town to stay the night and resupply. It's a very busy tourist town. The guy I hitched with works in Manhattan during the week and lives here on the weekends. I'm looking forward to sunny weather forecasted for the next five days. Yippee! Took another picture of beautiful western Mass. where the trail has some honest to gosh dirt.
