07-17-13 In Dalton, Massachusetts Together



Enjoyed sleeping in before our nine mile hike into town. Lush also camped at the Cookie Lady's, so we ate breakfast with him before heading out.

The trail led us along the ridge then down into Dalton, Massachusetts. Bamboo and Steady State had caught up to us and we walked into town with them. We'd learn later that several mills in Dalton create the paper for the U.S. currency.

We stopped first at a hiker friendly house. Tom, the homeowner, offered us a ride to the Price Chopper and Taco Bell.

Fed and resupplied, we continued to the Shamrock Village Inn for the night. The proprietor had three cats and a dog in the office. I enjoyed visiting with them while I did laundry; it makes me miss our cat, Cirby.

Cleaned up and rested the remainder of the day. Ended the evening with a pint of ice cream from the gas station.
