Shower, Bed, Food

Day: 116 (July 19)
Starting location: Mt Wilcox South Lean-to
Ending location: US 20 / Lenox, MA
State: MA
Miles today: 17.4
Miles total: 1,540.6

It was so nice to see Daytripper and Thunder again. When you seperate from people on the trail you oftentimes never know if you will ever see them again. We have often talked about setting up a 2010 thru hiker reunion at some point next year. One thing is for sure, Kristen and I are going to do some serious trail magic for the 2011 thru hiker class.

Today we met up with our very good family friends the Moynihans. The Moynihans live in Lenox, MA which is truly a postcard perfect New England town. The Moynihans live in a beautiful home and allowed us to take over the entire bottom floor. We had a great time talking about old times over a amazing steak dinner. The great thing is, we don't have to leave them tomorrow. They will be slackpacking us tomorrow to Dalton, MA and taking us back to their home.

The amount of help and support that we have recieved from friends and family while on the trail has been incredible. A simple shower, bed, and good meal may not sound like a lot, but it truly makes all the difference in the world. The help that we have recieved has contributed a lot to our success thus far on the trail. We have stayed with friends & family in North Carolina, Virginia, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. All your help has not been forgotten.




Watch where you step
