Said goodbye to Cameron, as he plans to motor ahead to try to finish by the end of August/early September. We left around 7:15.
First order of business -- Mt. Greylock. It was a six- or seven-mile climb but looked pretty gradual on the profile map. It was a good, steady climb with flat parts in between. Great breeze. Pretty pine forest. We really took our time, which was a nice change of pace.

Kristy
seemed tired, but she was a trooper and easily made it to the summit.
Impressive war memorial tower and Bascom Lodge. We had lunch out back,
climbed the tower, hung out, and waited for Dad to come get Kristy.
They left at 3:30, which didn’t leave us much time to do 8 miles and walk to the supermarket to resupply. Steep descent but not too rocky, which was good.
We’ve started to see a lot of southbounders now. All men. Nice to be able to share information. Walked to Stop and Shop. It was set up exactly like Hingham. Had to pause just now because a big tree just came down, for no apparent reason, about 100 yards into the woods.
