07-14-13 Together with the porcupines



Climbed Mount Everett and descended it with no problems. It is amazing how your perspective changes after a night's rest and fresh legs.

The sun burned away the fog, and we saw gorgeous views up on Jug End. We climbed down the ridge and through open fields toward Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

We stopped on the outskirts of town to recharge our electronics. The grill was a little pricey, so we hung out in the pavilion and enjoyed the shade and rest instead.

Back on the trail, we crossed the Housatonic River for the last time, up June Mountain and finally East Mountain where we saw our first porcupine.

Worn out, we stopped for the night at Tom Leonard Shelter at Ice Gulch. The water source was a pain to get to, but rewarding if you made the trek.
