Well, here we are, yet another state down! We're about 1559 miles into the trail with about 619 to go! Everyone feels much better than since the last time I wrote. We all caught the viral-stomach thing, but everyone recovered just fine (though it did slow us down a bit). Claire is also feeling much better! The vet gave her the antibiotics for Lyme's Disease, and its working fantastically!
Connecticut was a very nice state for us! The views were incredible, and the trail wasn't too hard. It was, however, a very crowded part of the AT on the weekends... which sometimes made finding a campsite a little harder for us. We've encountered some very hiker friendly towns lately. Lee, MA was probably the best so far! Everyone talked to us and wished us luck... we even had an older guy buy us some strawberries and he drove around town until he found us to give them to us! Apparently, from here on out, the towns are much more welcoming to hikers (and probably a little more outdoorsy than the NJ/NY area).
Not really much else to report from this week. We're very close to the Vermont border. After that, the trail is suppose to become a little more difficult again with the Presidentials and the White Mountains. :) We're very excited though. We're hoping to pull out some big miles again until then, so we can slow down and take our time through the more difficult sections.
We miss everyone and we're just over a month from being done! That realization hasn't completely sunk in yet... its going to be a little odd readjusting!
