Another 21.4 (something) day.  Much easier terrain though!




I'm in New York now- such a surreal day it was. 


On Schaghticoke Mountain (like saying "Should I get Coke?")

NY staggers the double-blaze to point the direction (here it leads left).

A train stop on the AT!!!  You can take this into NYC (41.2 miles to Grand Central Station).

The Dover Oak, largest tree on the AT, is over 300 years old.


The NOBOs [North-Bounders] were loud and obnoxious last night, but they are getting less and there are none here at the Telephone Pioneer's Shelter.
