The Roaming Romantics

After a windy night, I woke up early to see the sunrise, it turned out, Sunrise Mountain did not have the best views, but I did see some amazing colors. After watching the sunset, it was time for breakfast.  The night before, I had tied a cord to my food bag and...

I stopped by the general store in town for a breakfast sandwich while waiting for the town hall to open. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a quick bite if you are hiking through. Once the hall opened I stopped by to inquire about the camera. Turns out it...

Started the day with a resupply run and then breakfast at a bagel shop (Thanks Erin!) Before being dropped off back at the trail. It was a wet cold day on the trail The trail climbed up to a ridgeline full of boulders and large stone formations. There were some rock...

Started the day with a breakfast sandwich at the deli before hitting the trail. The trail went through an active pasture with about two dozen cows The trail was very muddy today, making for another day of slow miles. Some areas had wooden walkways which helped a bit....

Started the day early with a plan to finish off back to back 25 mile days, hiking to Salisbury to get picked up by a hostel. The trail began with a nice couple miles along the Housatonic river. It was a cool, misty/foggy morning as I crossed a small pasture. The trail...
