CT – Day 18

July 23, 2017 by Beardoh and SweetPea

Daily Miles: 2
Total Miles: 339

We turned our alarms off for this morning, since we only had a few miles to the road.  Nonetheless, we were still awake before 6am.  We decided to stay in our hammocks a bit longer before packing up.

We made it to the road by 8am, and then proceeded to try to hitch for an hour and twenty minutes.  There weren’t a ton of cars on the road, but certainly over 50.  Finally we got picked up by a family that Beardoh had actually met when he hiked the Collegiate West Route.  They had to get off the trail due to an injury, so they have just been car camping and sight seeing.  They were super nice and brought us into town to the one place open for breakfast.

We are happy to be in town and dry for the next 24 hours.  We’ll head back up to the trail tomorrow.

    Just wanted to say thanks for the update! I saw your post over on HF, and I’ve been following ever since. Living vicariously from my office… HTH.
