Brrrrr! It turned out to be a cold cold night. Once the morning rolled around it was hard to motivate ourselves to leave the warmth of our sleeping bags.
We eventually did, though and had a wonderful day of hiking. The cool weather kept the mosquitoes at bay and we didn't worry about overheating.
Hiked past Little Rock Pond and up our third Bear Mountain (we hiked ones in New York and Connecticut).
On our way back down and through Patch Hollow a girl about seventeen, approached me. After consulting my guidebook, I quickly learned she was lost. I suggested she follow me to the next shelter about a mile away. She agreed.
We called her parents and the trail group she was working with and they got her headed back in the right direction.
We filled up our bottles with crystal clear water, then decided to stay the night at the Minerva Hinchey Shelter. Set up the tent and settled in for another potentially cool night.
