I moved one large piece of a blowdown as it tried to spear me in the thigh... Figured if it was going to do it to me, someone else might get hurt too. So, I fixed it. |

Isis loved the colder temps and the trails were easy for her. The AT is great for dogs as it's well worn and easy to travel. |

None today. |

One piece of a trekking pole at the crossing with Notch Rd. I left it standing by a tree. |

 | Comments: |
While this day I intended to go to Mt. Greylock, heading to Mt. Williams was just as nice. I missed the southbound trail to Greylock from Mt. Williams so we had turned ourselves back. By the time I realized it, I didn't want to retrace my steps. We headed to the shelter for a snack and back to the outlook on Mt. Prospect. Coming back, we ran into a porcupine so, off leash dogs take care. All in all a day well spent on the AT. |
