(spot didnt work)
Long, wet day. I haven't been dry in a while. It's rained a lot and the woods are wet, foggy and humid. Everything I have is wet. I'm happy with the miles I hiked today. My fitness is getting better.
6/25
(start 11:00. Finish 1:00. Dalton, MA)
Walked 3 miles than yellow blazed into Dalton. It's finally not raining. And it's sunny. I'm gonna be able to dry my stuff out. Yay!!!!
This dude in town helps out hikers. Let's them sleep on his porch, tent in his yard, shower, drives to mall. So I'm now sitting in the mall. The other hikers here are in the movie theater and I just walked around. I got some food to resupply at EMS and Target and bought an ice cream!!! I smell really bad and look like a hobo. It's great the expressions I put on people's faces.
I was hiking with Alice when we hitched into Dalton. We caught an awesome hitch. The guy was me on steroids on political views. He is planning on moving to Laos in a small village that their lives are based are the rice season and harvest. He has a good grip on realizing that 'we the people' don't really have a say in our government. That it's run by corporations and small, rich, powerful, multinational groups that have their best interests in mind. He wants out. The simple life, an honest, wholesome life.
The goal is a 21 mile day tomorrow, so I'm gonna try to get an early start and then slow and steady hiking. I have a 2500 feet climb. Time to test the goods.
