Less hot and humid, high in upper 70s.
The trail was nice today too. It needed to be! As nice as yesterday afternoon was (Pete and his people, the shower, the hot dogs across the street), sleeping was terrible. The place was between the train track and the highway. Trains and trucks all night. Very loud! I got less than 2 hours of sleep. Hikers beware.
I mentioned the trail was nice. I have meant to say how nice the trail has been in the 2nd half of NY. No PUDS (Pointless Ups and Downs). The trail has been well designed - to get from point A to point B efficiently - rather than to "show off our rocks".
The big news today is that we are in Connecticut! Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York are all done (WV done too). The pictures are of Ten Mile River and Lean-to, our first stop in Conn.
Since northern PA, we have seen small patches of northern forest (tall pines, open floor). Coming down Ten Mile Mtn. today we came into such an area. We are seeing it more frequently now. The sun comes up earlier too, before 5:00.
