Aside from the mosquitoes, today was a very pleasant day. It started early and we began the day climbing rock structures. We passed through a cracked boulder billed as "similar to Lemon Squeezer," but it was simple to walk through; no squeezing necessary.
We stopped for a snack at Belter's Knob, then pushed in to Falls Village, Connecticut, although the Appalachian Trail only led by the high school and hydro-electric plant.
At the hydro-electric plant, we stopped for our weekly bath. The shower wasn't what I had expected and privacy was none existent; cars driving by, construction men walking around, a photographer photoing a girl dressed as a gypsy (odd, yes; we never got the story on that one). Nevertheless, we stripped down to our skivvies and scrubbed away.
Clean and fed we hiked up Mount Prospect and past the shelter (it was half a mile off the trail). We stopped for the night at Rands View, a big field with a view, and perhaps a glorious sunset.
