Woke up this morning, Chad watched some awful TV shows (Dog the Bounty Hunter) and we had breakfast sandwiches and coffee and a blueberry donut at a cute little donut shop near the motel. Then we got dropped off at the trail by the motel owner after he took us to the post office. Hiked about 7 miles today. 7 wet, soggy, muddy, slippery miles from Great Barrington to the Tom Leonard Shelter on top of East Mountain. Seems like everybody is ending the day early today, there are 3 thru-hikers (including Stroller, who we met 2 or 3 days in) and one guy out for three days. Wet gear is hanging all over the shelter, and I really have to pee but I don't want to go outside. Stroller has a little baby doll strapped to the outside of the pack - I asked him about it, he said that he and his siblings have been hiding it in eachother's houses for years, and his sister snuck it into his pack before he left. Now, we are going to play some rummy, then probably read and go to bed early.
