Well I found him! Actually, I just waited at a trail head. South side of Route 4. I had a large Gatorade and cold water for him when he finished that climb down from Silver Hill. That was @ 130 in the afternoon, Astro had 8 miles of Connecticut lowlands. So we walked a few more to Ceasar Brook camp. Which I had never been to. It was actually a good site. Water right there, plenty of flat spots.... Not trashed from heavy use. So we hung out and shot the breeze with a real old section, coming from Virginia.
Astro was up and out by 0700, I slept in on my birthday , but I was taking a red blaze back to my car. Astro plans to go to BeardedWoods tonite but wants to make Falls Village today.
I only have this one picture. We had the real old guy take it on Astros phone and he sent it to me.......................on my way yesterday morning, I was driving thru Waterbury, Conn. and I thought to call Goodie to see what he was up to....and I reach for m.............shyte......my phone in charging.....on my desk! Dang!!!............................hummmmmm?? Disconnected I like it.....no pics though.
Great picture of y'all!Lost in the right direction. -

Got off yesterday in Dalton and in Pittsfield about to take Amtrak back home. Shorter than I planned, but needed to get back home to take care of somethings.
Was the tale of cities hike. Didn't realize it at the time but got really dehydrated on the train ride out and the first 5 days other than meeting up Coach were pretty rough. Then on fifth day I pulled into Salisbury and finally got well hydrated and fed. Next 6 days were great after that. Only 120 miles in 11 days, but now 1568 down and only 620 to go.
Next week after I get back and catch up on some things I will try to post more details and pictures. Until then probably just short responses on my phone wile on the train.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Say Hi to Big Lou for me, at Bearded Woods. She makes the best strawberry shortcake! Stayed 3 nights in 2014, slack packed most of Conn. and gained weight from her cooking.

It sounds like you've had a great hike, can't wait to hear more about it.Lost in the right direction.

Just leaves more for next year. Great that you got out for a while. You get to start what I think is the best part of the trail. You start getting back into borel forests. Hills start turning back into mountains. VT will break you in gradually so NH doesn't break you!

I've switched to the orange superfeet. The greens don't have enough cushion. I forget the name of them but I saw some really nice inserts at Cabelas for $16."Dazed and Confused"

I finally loaded my pictures to my laptop before I left, but ran out time to get them along with a report of the first 11 days up here. Will have to do it in August after I get back.
Currently in IN and took my youngest son to Cleveland Indians game today. Milwaukee Brewers tomorrow, and Detroit Tigers on Friday. Early Saturday I will leave for Dalton and plan to finish MA and VT in two weeks getting off in Hanover, NH. That will leave NH for 2017 and ME for 2018.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Completed MA and now over a day into VT (Melville Nauheim shelter). Like PA wouldn't be so bad without the rocks, same for VT and the mud. Rained all four days so far, praying for sunshine.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Looking through the log and Sarcasm the Elf was here on 7/17, the same time I probably would have if I had not had to go home. Bummer, it would have been nice to meet him in person.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.
