10th July 2002

From:  Morgan Stuart Shelter
To: Wiley Shelter
State
: New Jersey - New York
Miles: ?  1434.8 (979.8)
Miles today:  16.6

The rain didn't have a lot of impact, the trail was only moist, no mud and no puddles. Let's hope we get some more soon.

The trail was very easy today, just gentle, rolling hills with very few rocks. At 11:30 A.M. I hit NY 22 and headed to Tony's Deli, 1/2 mile down the road, for a Sub and a drink. By this time I had done ten miles and had planned to do another six after lunch. The temperature was in the low 70's and low humidity, which was ideal for hiking. Tomorrow I will cross into Connecticut and should reach Kent early afternoon.

I passed the Appalachian Trail Train Station today, which is near Pawling, NY. The trains only stop at this station on weekends for some reason. Had I been here on a Saturday or Sunday I would have taken a quick trip into New York City. The fare was listed as $11.60 one way and was a two-hour trip.

Here at the shelter tonight are: 'Semi-Pro' and 'Woodstock' and two Southbounders.

That's all for now, goodnight all.
