Deb's famous hanging-food-bag-couscous-pudding cake for breakfast, cinnamon almond, success. A few nice views from the ridge as we continue through the Glastonbury Wilderness. Happy to get back to water at Hell Hollow Brook, where we encounter a jolly group of summer camp hikers heading north.
It's clear from just a few days on the AT that the crowd is different from the PCT hikers we saw on our hike last year in Oregon. In general, people are more casual, more diverse, less obsessively equipped. The hiking itself is no less difficult though, usually more so.
Soothing lunch soaking our feet in City Stream (much nicer than its name implies) between the great stone staircases on either side of Vermont Route 9. Black clouds again with loud thunder, but nothing to fear (says Deb, correctly) so we skip the stinky Congdon Shelter and make camp on the south side of Consultation Peak. 15 miles today! Finally beginning to get our trail legs back.
