Dave got up at 5:15, and I forced myself to join him. We were packed and on the trail at 5:50. Had breakfast a few miles out. Another pretty section of trail.
Oh, yesterday evening we tackled “the ledges,” which I had been nervous about. It was actually a pretty touch climb up ledges of rocks, but nothing scary or dangerous.
This morning we saw a dead weasel on the trail; then I saw a live porcupine. It was really cool looking with a cute black face. But when I called to Dave, it started moving away. No picture.
More pretty forest and meadows. A couple of decent climbs. We were anxious to get to the cabin and didn’t stop that much.
Arrived at Upper Goose Pond at 12:30 -- pretty much the first ones here. It’s a really nice place, although I am a little disappointed (too much hype, I think). Bunkroom, privies, nice porch, pond, canoe. And the caretaker, Cathy, makes pancakes and coffee in the morning.
Dave and I took the canoe out -- almost too tired to paddle. He chauffeured me around for a while, which was nice. Tomorrow we get to see our parents. And we cross the Mass. Pike footbridge. Will Dave streak the bridge, mooning the traffic below? Will his parents be driving by at that exact moment? Stay tuned.
