Huge snapping turtle in the middle of the trail. He said he started in Georgia in 1947.
Me asleep on top of Mt. Greylock after 24 hours of straight hiking...we made it 44 miles.
Statue on top of Mt. Greylock
Some beautiful views at sunrise above the clouds on Mt. Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts.
A frog enjoying the excess water that has been on the trail.
Caleb is a bit reluctant to leave his sleeping bag one wet, rainy morning.
Race Brook Falls just past the Connecticut/Massachusetts line, which possessed some of the cleanest looking water on the trail
A stop at the coffee shop in Salisbury, Connecticut before heading back on the trail.
We got a pizza delivered and stealth camped behind the library of Salisbury, Connecticut.
Rand's View in Connecticut
Caleb had been looking forward to climbing Caleb's Peak this entire trip.
There's a lot of moments I just stop and can't believe how lucky I am to be where I am at. This was one of those moments.
Caleb was hiking ahead of me when I crossed into Connecticut leaving New York.
Caleb in front of the Dover Oak, the largest Oak tree along the A.T. We thought the Keffer Oak, the second largest Oak we saw with Mike, Mike, and Matt was a cooler tree, though.
New York
A memorial to 9/11 was located on top of one of the mountains in New York.
A wet night of camping.
There were tons of delis and convenience stores along the New Jersey/New York hike. We had the self discipline to only stop a few times.
This is the only fire that Caleb and I have started when we were by ourselves this whole trip. Caleb did all the work with the fire, but I documented the occasion well.
Crossing the Hudson River on Bear Mountain Bridge
Seeing this sign was awesome. We walked from Georgia to outside of New York City! It's hard to believe...
The A.T. was difficult in parts of the beginning of New York
Trail Angels: Tom, Joyce, and their wonderful grandson
A huge bird
The real New York/New Jersey state line
We thought this was the state line of New York/New Jersey, but it was only directing us to the "State Line Trail"
Two red ants carrying a black ant up a tree.
River Wallkill in New Jersey is beautiful
Tiny turtle closeup
After seeing the huge turtle, I found this baby turtle on a road
Huge snapping turtle that is pictured above.
My 34-mile-day was one of the most beautiful days I had on the trail.
I caught the sunset at High Point, the highest peak in New Jersey.
Dinner from an awesome view
The climb outside of Palmerton, PA was the rockiest part of the entire trail.
Some cool panaramics in Pennsylvania
Who knew porcupines could climb trees?
A few random pictures from our recent hike...
