Day 20 - 5.1 miles - Wawayanda Shelter

Today was a short day.  The heat (over 95 degrees) and the threat of storms kept me at the Wawayanda Shelter for the majority of the day.  The storms, accompanied with warnings of potential tornadoes (and a touchdown in Massachusetts) did not materialize - the storms blew around us.

Not much "on the trail" news to report.  Thanks to Wizard who warned me to watch the trail markings carefully.  No problems and no bears but I'm glad I knew to keep a careful eye!

I was on my own today since Mr. Sunshine needed to stay in town to get his camera repaired.  He and I are planning to reconnect tomorrow at a shelter that's about 12 miles from where I am staying tonight.  I have company with me for the night - Avatar, a 6'4" cell phone power inspector (he climbs the cell phone towers to do his inspections), Protein - a young guy who eats powdered protein on the trail, and Country Gold. 

The heat is supposed to break tomorrow and it looks like it will be beautiful hiking weather.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Pictures will be added when I reach a town and don't have to conserve my battery power!  Stay tuned!!
