Northbound – NY17A to Allis Trail – 5 miles
September 17th, 2014
New backpack!! After a decent amount of research I am the proud owner of the Osprey Aether 70. Very excited now that my shoulders have healed! Picking up where I left off last time I was northbound, I started today at the hotdog stand on 17A near Greenwood Lake. I drove to Gaylordsville, CT and got a ride back to NY to start my hike. I didn’t get a very early start and due to poor cell signal I had some trouble with my rendezvous with my driver but eventually we connected and all was well. I hiked about 4 miles and tried to set up my tent but the only flat areas were the ones covered in rocks! I was really starting to see the flaws of this tent that required stakes to set up. So I continued on for another mile and found a suitable area that could accommodate my needy tent.
