04 June - Great Barrington

We slack packed today.  The people here at Monument Mountain Motel (Pravin and Krishna) drove us over to where the trail crosses Rt. 23 and we hiked back - about 9 miles.   This is a good place for hikers to stay.  Call them, and they will pick you up (413 528-3272).

The trip to the outfitter was a bust.  The good one closed and the remaining one sells clothes, shoes, and lawn furniture.  We still need gas and new tips for my poles (they are getting dangerous ).

After that, we hiked.  It was a nice hike but surprisingly tiring for 9 miles.  We came back to a swim in the ice cold pool (cold to us Southerners).  Feel pretty good for now - Wendy is still hiking.
