Wednesday, 7\/15<\/p>\n
AT Miles = 10.2 \/ 1466.1
Other Miles = 0 \/ 49.7
Total Miles = 10.2 \/ 1505.8<\/p>\n
This morning I woke up in mid-town Manhattan — at Lexington and 51st Street — and tonight I am going to sleep at Silver Hill Campsite on the AT in Connecticut. Quite the transition!<\/p>\n
After three wonderful days of good food, good drink, jazz clubs, Central Park, harbor cruises, Times Square, and etc., I am now back on the trail. It was really hard to say goodbye to Jodi this afternoon and watch her drive away. The urge to go with her was powerful. I was actually looking forward to there being some other hikers at the campsite so I would have company to keep me occupied, but alas I am here alone tonight. I started reading "The Monkey Wrench Gang" while we were in NYC, so once I finish my chores and get camp squared away for the night, I will crawl into my hammock away from the pesky mosquitoes and lose myself in the adventures of Doc and Bonnie as they level billboards along the desert highways.<\/p>\n
I used to bring Anju camping here quite often when she was young, so this place holds many sweet memories for me. Anju, you remember camping at Silver Hill, don't you? <\/p>\n
