Another long day where we covered almost seventeen miles from our campsite at the Duanesburg NY Airport to an undisclosed location near Carlisle, NY.
Trail Angels: Bonnie, Susan, Brianna, Jeremiah, and Alec….We couldn't do it without you!
Once again, it is the people we met that have made all the steps worth it. The lovely people on top met us with most welcome and cold bottles of water at the top of a two and a half mile hill coming up out of the valley at Sloansville, NY. Brianna's brother Vince had bailed Dad out of an awkward restroom situation earlier, and he'd called ahead to his sister to make sure they were watching out for us. They did! Incredible!
The ladies in the bottom of the photo met us outside the Esperance, NY Town Hall and later chased us down on our way out of town to get a photo and delivered some homemade Scott Shortbread. I saved mine till the top of the previously mentioned hill, and then let the buttery sweetness just melt in my mouth and rejuvenate me as advertised. Thank you Susan and Bonnie. You made a challenging afternoon a great deal more enjoyable.
I'm so grateful that I'm getting the opportunity to experience the people who have gone out of their way to make a couple strangers feel welcome!
awesome awesome!!!
