The highway traffic settled down, but the commuter rail continued through the night. Not our best night of sleep, but definitely not the worst either.
Our two exciting milestones of the day included entering (and leaving, and entering again) Connecticut and then seeing a covered bridge in Kent, Connecticut.
Along the trail today we met two groups working on the trail. The first was with Forestry and they were spraying Rodeo herbicide to kill the non-native and invasive plant, sodio glacitio (sp?).
The second group was Greenagers building a rock staircase on the Appalachian Trail through a grant.
While we were eating lunch at the covered bridge, it began to rain. A stone's throw away was a gas station where we sought shelter and a soda. Once the sun came back out we continued, but it rained off and on the rest of the afternoon and the mosquitoes reared their ugly faces...Connecticut, I swear if you New Jersey me...
Thankfully, the rain let up to set up our tent. We stealth camped by ourselves on an unnamed PUD (pointless up and down), which I aptly named Mount Cirby.
