June 28 – The Return of Ground Control

Post date: Jul 3, 2012 4:10:44 AM

"Five Pair’s" day began with a hike through wooded area populated with streams where she met up again with "Nomad", "CatDog" and "Banjo".

Thereafter, the hike wandered adjacent to farmland where "Five Pair" witnessed a farmer bailing hay.

As the day wore on the terrain transitioned into wooded and then swampy area with "Five Pair" hiking across different footbridges.

The day ended as the structure that is the Appalachian Trail Train Station came into sight and Ground Control arrived and whisked "Five Pair" to McGrath’s Tavern in Pawling, New York, for a fantastic dinner. Thereafter, it was off to a shelter chosen by Ground Control that oddly enough included a bed with actual bed linens, an indoor bathroom and air conditioning.
