Today the sky opened up and answered our prayers. It poured for two hours and rained for much of the morning. It was welcomed by us for three reasons: it made it cooler to hike, it will hopefully fill up some of the springs and streams and it gave us a little shower. It was great. The only downside to the rain is that the bugs are going to be out in full force. Good thing I have a bug net! Jasons says I look like a lunch lady when I wear it, but it gets the job done.

Tonight we are staying at a town park in Pawling, NY. Have you ever passed a town or state park with an outdoor shower and wondered, who would ever shower here? Well, we do. It was really refreshing too. We may have looked like homeless people, but technically speaking, we are homeless.

Off to NYC in the morning!!
