660.1 Great Barrington Ma

We need a break. It's been over 3 weeks since we took a day off. We've had a few "nero" days (hike days near zero miles), but no zeros.  We walked 3.3 yesterday (Nero) and plan to zero today. Our legs are bit traumatized and need the break. 

We also ran as low as we will (I guarantee this) ever go on food. Our last food package almost turned wrestling match as we grappled over the last bites and broth. 

So, we entered town broken down and hungry. Time for a break. 

Having said that, we did get some game changing magic to get us through that last day. Hot, thirsty and hungry we came upon a cooler by the side of the road that we were crossing. Fresh (clean) water and watermelon!!  

Shortly thereafter, we came upon a farm house with a shed containing a fridge with cold sodas (not pop), gatorades and treats. 

Spirits immediately lifted we continued up the face of the next really big hill. Forty-five minutes straight up. Really?  Give us some flat, please!

  1. Good food makes a happy ship....I'll bet the same is true for dirt eaters. :-) Glad it was not more dramatic than a few hours......you both are looking buff, but do not recommend getting that way thru lack of food. Stay safe, my friend.
