Berkshire South Community Center to South Mount Wilcox Shelter

This is what I still have to go. However, I only did it free, so I would not pay much attention to detail haha.

Blue = where I came. And purple = where I go 😎

At the beginning, since it seems that I cannot sleep on the path (during the pause I had no problem with that), I packed everything and left for McDonald’s. Along the way, once at a good distance from my fellow hikers, I stopped to shake as much water as I could leave my tent. The condensation was the greatest until me. I checked my watch when I entered the doors of the golden arches. 6:01 am, a minute after they open. I was the first client of the day.

First, I connected my energy bank; I had completely forgotten load yesterday. Then, I ordered through the application of Mickey D. in general, there are good offers, but the only problem is that they suck you that way. Once the coffee was in my hand, I began to catch up in blog posts. At some point, he arrived and she filled me over her and Shorty’s Trail Ongoings. The heat wave last week sounded horrible (good time for me to have been out).

While we were hanging, a group of about fifteen men had gathered in the near restaurant section. Based on the things of the talk, I gathered that this was a regularly scheduled meeting of communion, socialization and perhaps a little cotille of small villages. It is not the first time I experience the McDonald’s male breakfast meeting. In fact, on other paths, as well as in my native state, throughout the country, I have witnessed this phenomenon. I think it’s great.

Around 7:30 am ish, I changed marching and walked back to the community center where I camped. However, instead of returning to the grass covered, I entered. He had closed yesterday, but opened at 7:00 am this morning. On the desktop, I bought the discrete discount pass of $ 8 to access the costume, the pool and other facilities. The main raffle was the shower for me, but I thought I would also go swimming.

The pool was lovely and made a return to the other side and back. That was good enough for me haha. I have never been a super strong swimmer. What had caught my attention when I entered the giant room was the heating therapy pool. At 95.5 ° F, it was basically a hydromassage bathtub. I was in heaven! Floating there with each arm resting on one side, jets firing on my back and making my body and legs deviate up, I thought about how I need to immerse myself in these good times. At the moment, I suppose I was doing this literally, but I intend to do it more figuratively.

After the pool, I showered again, I dried and began to go through my herd outside. I organized and dryed things in the sun as I simultaneously continued getting work on the blog. It could have been around 10:30 am when I left to go to the helicopter groceries. I needed some more snacks and wanted to leave the Delicatessen store. Then, unfortunately I returned to McDonalds, but it was mainly to have a place to sit and continue loading my electronic. I also get some foods, of course.

Finally, I stopped in Subway to collect a submarine to pack for dinner. I obtained the Sub of the food of the day, which today was the «last BMT». I feel that Subway needs to simplify his menu and return to the basic concepts. I am not sure why they have such strange and such names today. I liked them when they had their classics and nothing really changed, except that some new ones rotated seasonally to try.

When I left Subway, I put the road to hit Hitch back to the path. However, when I crossed, I saw someone running for the grass of the nearby motel. It was the most and she was asking if she was going back to the path and wanted a trip. Crazy weather. I guess his partner appeared with his car and they were about to direct that address. I accepted and enjoyed chatting with them while we fight during vacation traffic leaving the city. We survived and arrived at the crossroads where they left me. Thank you all!

I was again at 1:26 pm! Things began along the fields already throughout the Housatonic River again. And then, after a few miles, I was climbing up through a roller forest mountain. It seemed a little that he had experienced a recent prescribed burn.

In general, today he did not have glamor like yesterday’s walk, but it’s fine. The weather was pleasant and enjoyed my songs and the communion of the audiobook of the ring. I found non -lazy again and also to the exception of the Michelle section.

I also get more Magic Trail today. This area has been full of such friendly people. Towards the end of the day, I stopped and sat down and had a CL shake with Pyro and another boy. They had installed a small area in a parking area. While hung, a woman drove and learned that apparently part of the configuration was her magic of trails. Slightly confused, I discovered that somehow it had been another situation of double path magic haha

Most uphill of the day was to leave the magic of the path and the one that beer had a little slow. I will persevere, but I did not end up doing the goal I had developed when I started walking today. Instead, he had approximately 2 timid miles, but he doesn’t care about that. I was happy to finally eat my sub and cozy inside the store!

There was no one in the shelter, but it seemed a bit small, as if I couldn’t completely design. Anyway, the mosquitoes were bad here and if you have been following for a while, you know that I prefer my store anyway.
