8/25 big day



I never thought I would complete a 28.4 mile day on such rough terrain.  I woke up early and had 18 done before I ate lunch.  I was going to stop at 25, but apparently the yale undergraduate orientation groups think they are entitled to the shelter.  now I am here all alone at a campsite on the mountain, hoping for no bears.  there were some interesting animal sightings today.  hundreds of orange salamanders, I am sure I stepped on at least one.  a few mocking birds.  a big rattlesnake, more than a yard long.  I tried to get a picture, but we were both a little scared.  also a huge frog.  that's it.  I will be in ny tomorrow.  will stop at some delis.
