(this daily journal was kept and rewritten by my sister Laurie and presented to me as a gift - I now rewrite it here for you)
I woke up at 7:00. It was really raining hard. Fred, Mike, Dave and Dan all got up and got ready to leave. These thru-hikers march right out - rain or shine. Guess they have to make their milage. It is 16.5 m to the next shelter - Allentown. Don has a great way of letting me know he's not moving. He just lies in his sleeping bag and pretends he's asleep. He got up at 9:30. We ate and played cards - hoping - hoping for the weather to break. It stopped raining at 12noon. We left at 12:30. We went up a river they called the A.T. to Pulpit Rock and the Pinnacle. Great Views! Got to "the pleasant hamlet of Eckville" at 5 P.M. Nothing there but a bus stop we almost camped in. Stopped in the woods near a flooded stream - 10 yds r. of sign - Hawk Mt. Sancuary land - NO CAMPING! Set up tent. Pancakes for supper. To bed early.
