Hiking Recap

8/8/2013

July26: Early start, as we had planned the night before- hiking at 6:30. Stopped for water first chance we got, after that, water was quite plentiful. We actually walked through some wetlands over boardwalks for a while. We stumbled across some trail magic- Little Debbie honeybuns and oatmeal pies- and sat on a log to eat. Passed by another swimmable pond, but again, the weather is so picture perfect and fall- like, it seems like the thing to do is walk as much as possible. Next summer I will have to stay on a lake in a cabin to make up for it.
We go down a steep descent and then end up walking over the footbridge over the Mass Pike. Woo hoo!

By now, my feet are absolutely killing me and I've figured out its the insoles I bought in Great Barrington. I take them out and put the original insoles back in after soaking my feet in a stream for a few minutes.
We go over an unwelcome rocky, roller-coastery section and then stop for water, as our intended shelter has an unreliable water source.
At the shelter, October Mountain Shelter, we run into a couple weekenders and a couple section hikers. Plus, we have once again caught up with Road Runner. Another crisp night- good for sleeping.
