Another peaceful day of hiking. We got up early but didn't make good time before lunch--I'm ready for a day of rest.
After a decent uphill to Becket Mountain then over to Walling Mountain, we stopped for lunch at Finerty Pond.
With a full belly and stretched legs we picked up the pace along the ridge walk. Stopped for an afternoon break at October Mountain Shelter before our final two mile push to Washington Mountain Road.
Walked 100 feet down the road to the "Cookie Lady's" house. B has been looking forward to this stop for some time now and even made a line item on the map so it wouldn't be missed. We were not disappointed and were greeted with a basket full of cookies. In exchange for camping on their lawn, B mowed around the blueberry bushes--and may have snacked on a blueberry or two. Thank you Roy and Marilyn!
