I’m almost through New York and into Connecticut. How crazy to think that I have come so far with still a few states left to go.

My quest is no less exciting than when I began. The mountains are filled with strange mysteries and even stranger people.

We spent the greater portion of yesterday hanging out by and swimming across a beautiful lake. It reminded me of summer in Michigan, swimming and not doing much else all day.

Sustenance!

There have been delis right along the trail with good food and mostly friendly people. Currently, we are at a garden center! It’s a very pleasant place, and we are waiting out some storm clouds and enjoying the early afternoon.

You can’t please everyone, so you’ve got to please yourself.
