Miles today: 11.2
Total miles: 1,589.2
Kind of a rough day but it ended well. Broke camp in the rain and headed out by 8am. Everything was cold and wet, lots of thick fog. Rained most of the day. It made the forest very pretty but the trail was dangerously slippery. Difficult to find good footing. Rocks, roots, dirt, all slippery. I fell down a few times despite being very careful. No view from Mt. Greylock this morning, just a wall of fog. A disappointment but that happens out here. You can't win them all. I ran into Late For Dinner on the trail, he was doing a southbound slackpack from Adams to Dalton. I hadn't seen him since Harper's Ferry, and Damascus before that.
I got off the trail to stop in North Adams for laundry and resupply. Had dinner at a Chinese buffet, ran into Nokey, Sprinkles, and Testament. Hadn't seen them since Pawling, NY. Skrambo, Float, and Rose were there too, we had a good time.
Hiked up to a campsite a few miles up the trail and stopped for the day. Didn't make as many miles as I'd have liked, but we're only a few miles from the Vermont border so that's encouraging.
Camping at.....some campsite just north of North Adams, I can't remember the name.
