June 30 - Hello Again, Goodbye Again and 2/3 Down

Post date: Jul 7, 2012 2:46:20 AM

"Five Pair" got an early start to the day with the desire to get a few more miles in than the previous day.

Within 90 minutes "Five Pair" hiked back into New York only to reappear back in Connecticut shortly thereafter. As "Five Pair" approached Kent, Connecticut, Ground Control arrived for pickup off the trail and into Kent they went for lunch. After a mammoth burger, ice cream and meeting two young lady hikers "Resource" and "Whoop" and two young male hikers, "Conan" and "Spider", "Five Pair" went back onto the trail.

At the fifteen mile mark, Ground Control ended up hiking southward from a crossover point and upon meeting up with "Five Pair", hiked along with her back to the crossover. While Ground Control was quite satisfied with his hike in his topsiders, "Five Pair" was less so, so she continued for another couple miles and was snatched off the trail by Ground Control as darkness fell in Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut.

Another number mark achieved, "Five Pair" passed the 2/3 complete mark.

1472.3 miles complete/712.1 miles to go
