After leaving Williamstown, I climbed Mt. Greylock. On the south flank I stayed at Kitchen Brook LT and met a private school camping trip. One day south and 16 miles I camped out 3 miles south of Dalton, MA.
The next day I hiked a short 7 miles, in the rain and cut the day short to stay in the old October Mountain LT. I followed the old AT, since I either lost the new relo or couldn't see the blazing.
I somehow got a fire going to help dry out my clothes. On the 16th, I wrote nearly two pages in my diary.
I noted that "I really do miss something to read, that is why I'm keeping my letters a little longer, so I can read them again."
