Were back on the trail mid-morning and braced for a hot one. Thankfully, today was the day of trail magic water. At three road crossings were gallons upon gallons of water. Since we were sweating faster than we could replenish it, the water was a welcome sight. Thank you trail angels!
Today was also our first full day hiking in New York. The terrain is quite a shock. Uphill. Downhill. Up. Down. Up. Down. At the end of the day, we stopped at Fingerboard Shelter and were ready for a good night's sleep. Also tested our skills at rock scrambling and lemon squeezing.
Our tent was set near M80, Trooper, Oreo and Quahog's tents and at dusk enjoyed laughing and talking between tents.
Woke up at 11:36 with an unsettling epiphany: the fiber bars, though on-sale, probably weren't the wisest purchase for out here. I ran as far away as I could, which wasn't far. Thankfully the dark of the night concealed me from nearby tenters. The outcome, I believe, was still better than the time we unknowingly gave Shaman laxative gum.
