Found a great new twist on the powdered eggs adding dried peppers, dried onions, coarse cracked black pepper and some bacon jerky!
Delicious.
A lot like a bacon quiche without the crust!
We've made it to Connecticut!
Only 52 miles of the AT pass through this state. We will be doing it virtually over 2 days.
Crossing 55 we will begin by climbing Ten Mile Hill.
Take a break at the top to catch our breath...
And down to Ten Mile River

The morning started pretty briskly (mid-60's) but it is almost 72 degrees here in Connecticut with a good breeze.
Beautiful day for a hike!
Up Schaghticoke Mountain
And suddenly another NY/Conn State Line Marker.
No..."Beans" is NOT LOST or going the wrong way, folks...the NY border just crossed our path again.
It's okay...I've got the MAP!
And if you look straight ahead you'll see Indian Rocks.
Oh ye, of little faith.
Past the Mount Algo Shelter
and the Stewart Hollow Brook Shelter
By the Pine Knob Loop Trail
Which we are going to take because it is a beautiful day and we are making good time...

Settling in for the night...have a fire started, dinner on...and will catch you in the morning when we finish Connecticut!
Love,
