hiked from the hemlocks shelter into great barrington, MA today. about 7 miles. steep descent down jug end, then into the forest for MOSQUITO MADNESS! we spend a lot of time outside, and there are always bugs, but not like this. met our hiker friend Sherlock in the laundry room at the comfort inn (they let hikers use laundry room) and he told us there was some sort of illness that killed most of the bats in the area, so nothing is around to eat the mosquitos. he said the bugs will be bad until Greylock Mountain. we will hurry to get out of here! Sherlock also told us about a man named Tom in the next town who opens his home to hikers, and we can stay there for free. meeting so many nice people, having a great time. we went to Friendly's because it is right across the street from the motel. chad had a frunion burger and i had grilled cheese. then a cookies and cream sundae.
we agreed that we could have eaten 2 dinners...the night is still young...(brewery/restaurant close)
