Day 128

Weather:
Thunderstorms on and off all day.

Todays Hike:
NY17 to Black Mtn. - 11.0 miles

The rain is relentless. It just won't stop coming. Ugh! I’m tired of being wet, tired of not hiking any miles, and tired of the mosquito's. In short, I’m just freakin' tired.

Despite the overall downfall of the current situation, today was not to shabby. Clear skies, and a Dunkin' Donuts breakfast. Fabulous. We also met back up with the Georgia Girls which helped boost the groups spirits. However, shortly after our reunion the t-storms began. So, we made our way to a vending area in Harriman St. Park and took shelter. By 5:00p of was still raining and we still had 6.5 miles to go. Errrrrrr.

We made it to camp by 8:30pm, a beautiful site with a view. There's lightening flashing south of us and thunder rolling in the distance. Hope it passes us by tonight.

I’m really looking forward to crossing the Hudson River tomorrow; the lowest point on the AT, and staying at the Greymor Spiritual Life Center tomorrow night.
