I am impressed by the diverse bodies of water. We have seen streams, rivers, creaks, waterfalls, ponds, and more in the past few days. It’s great to be surrounded by so much water, especially when everything is warming up.

With water, often comes critters. Can you spot one in this picture?

After starting our hike before 5:00 am today, I was able to hike 13 miles by noon. My plan was to go farther, but I found myself at the legendary Woods Hole Hostel. Right when I was ready to pack up, someone offered to pay for my dinner. After all I had heard about the meals here, I had to stay. Thank you Chicken Feathers!!

The people here are very kind, and I look forward to my stay here, especially as some hiker friends catch up to join me.
