| New York from Someplace Close to the Connecticut Border |
Today was another great day on the AT. I left Connecticut and entered New York. Made about 17 miles and walked about a mile into Kent, Conn. for breakfast. Kent is a beautiful little town. There's hardly a blade of grass out of place in that town. They have a famous boys prep school there that I walked past. Lots of money. The trail went along the Housatonic river again, so I had another wonderful swim at about 2:00 p.m. I made a shelter at about 5:00 p.m. I met a retired cop from Boston. He treated me to a Macanudo cigar, and we had a great conversation. In fact, he gave me another Macanudo for the trail. Trail magic! It was a beautiful day weather-wise and easy walking. I ran into a lady on the trail who was so impressed by my thru-hiking she took my picture. I had to chuckle at that. There's supposed to be a hot dog stand along the trail tomorrow. Looking forward to that. Take care.
