Started hiking at 6:30 this morning. Only one other thru hiker was at the shelter with me last night. He's a young man whose trail name is Pacemaker. First time I've come across him. He said he started March 11th.
Stopped by the church hostel in Vernon, New Jersey and took a wonderful hot shower. Brightside, Time, and Sputnik were there. Caught a lift back to the trail with Sputnik.
It's noon and I'm at Wawayanda Shelter now eating lunch before moving on.
Did exactly 16 miles today and decided to spend the night camping at the highest point in NY that the AT goes through. It's called Prospect Rock and it's just across from the New Jersey, New York border. I set up my tent right next to the trail on the only flat, non-rocky spot I could find. The views up here are great. Off in the distance is Greenwood Lake with expensive looking homes on its shores. I'm at mile 1366.2
