This week I was able to hike straight through to CT without stopping in town. There were enough delis right off trail to deli-blaze and charge my phone without taking a day off. There were no cheap places to stay either, so it worked out. I caught up to a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while, and met plenty of new people.
There was a few big storms this week, and when I crossed the Housatonic river it was almost overflowing its banks. There was a report that bridges up ahead had been compromised, and there have been a few flash flood warnings. Most importantly though, the trail has gotten muddy.
I passed the 100 day, and 1462.1 milestones this week. There was no sign for the 2/3rds mark, so I had to make one. I still haven't met any Southbound hikers yet, but they shouldn't be too far off.
Massachusets here I come!
