Short day today. Just after lunch I passed a shelter and had gone maybe 1/3 of a mile when a massive thunderstorm hit. I thought of pressing on but decided to go back to the shelter, a decision I would not regret. The thunder and lightning were as intense as I've seen out here on the trail, something I didn't care to walk in. Rain is one thing but lightning = nope.
So I stayed in the shelter all afternoon. Hopefully all that rain will fill a spring or two; I met a southbound thru-hiker today who said Massachusetts is as dry as Connecticut has been. We'll see. I should be there by this weekend sometime.
Staying at Stewart Hollow Brook shelter.
