MA is Great! Stayed at Upper Goose Pond Shelter Last Night

Quick update: mile marker 1540 on my way to Mt. Greylock in next few days...hope to watch 4th of July fireworks from lodge Sunday evening.

Expect to be in Vermont around Monday or Tuesday then will begin to feel like I am in final major leg of hike.

Not much time for stories, but weather has been not too bad, bugs ok, cool evenings, and terrain challenging as we progress into NE reducing daily mileage. Bumping into old friends (burley, out due to lime disease, Maine boys, Ryan) and new (beer hunter, Bean, Curmudgeon, Spike and others).

Feet are constantly numb but otherwise pretty good.

    Nothing better than going to Summerfest and watching the fireworks in Milwaukee. I'm sending the fleece jackets out to New Hampshire for Meg. They are on their last 500, and can't wait to see them in Maine. I am really excited for everyone to complete this journey! Have fun, enjoy the scenery, stay positive, and HAPPY HIKING!
