Hiked a rugged 16 miles today in southern New York. The mountains here are smaller but one right after the other. There's very little supply of water from streams, which is a bit of a problem. However, it brings out the trail angels. I experienced trail magic at three different points today. People bring water in multiple-gallon jugs; one spot had a cooler full of juices, cookies, bagels, Gatorade, and more in addition. Just unbelievable. I took a can of chile for the road. I met a number of weekend hikers today. They are always interested by thru-hikers -- makes you feel important.
Stealth camping tonight at the top of Mombasha Point. I plan to do six miles tomorrow as a nero day, stopping at Greenwood Lake, NY for a little clean up. Take care.
