My day was actually pretty cool, I ran did a loop on the barn trails with the dogs in the morning and then I went for a hike on a CT blue trail and ended up climbing down a fairly large cave, probably 50 feet down with three chambers. I haven't done that since I was a kid.

In my music room at Elem school I have a coupla nice comfy bank chairs. When a kid just won't stop being ridiculous, I have them sit in the comfortable chair. They'll look at me and the new kids will say you mean time out and I say "No, I just want you to be comfortable". I actually had a Mom call me and say, "My daughter said you Made her sit in the comfortable chair". I almost laughed out loud. I'm so abusive you know.

The new caretaker of Wiley Shelter and his friends just fixed the water pump there, so hikers now have an easy source of water and don't have to rely on the stream. He and his girlfriend are avid hikers who adopted the shelter a few months ago and spend about every other weekend doing maintenance there. Wish they'd been in charge before I passed through last year.

WeHa's all right, thanks. :) New Haven's a fine place in my book. One of my homes in this world. CT's got lots of nice nooks and crannies.


The new caretaker of Wiley Shelter and his friends just fixed the water pump there, so hikers now have an easy source of water and don't have to rely on the stream. He and his girlfriend are avid hikers who adopted the shelter a few months ago and spend about every other weekend doing maintenance there. Wish they'd been in charge before I passed through last year.
A big shout-out to Martin and Donna, yeah!!

Great to hear that the caretakers are doing such a good job of it!

I haven't been there in about two years, but I used to camp there in the winter (and gladly will again), never had a problem myself. However it's proximity to the road and to the A.T. Train station causes the place to be a magnet for partiers as well as first time hikers going out on their grand adventure. Last time I was there the log book was full of tales from the previous summer about people carrying rolling suitcases and duffel bags and hair dryers from the train station to Wiley, ditching stuff as they went (in true Katz fashion) because they couldn't handle the weight of what they brought. Many thanks to folks who maintain that area!

They're a nice crew, DH. Really enjoyed chatting with Jacko, IM's a very pleasant fellow and really liked by fellow New Englander, Army Ant. Rolling R's, their German captive, is also a pleasant fellow, though relatively quiet. They keep each other going amidst the heat and rain, etc. Was also nice to meet Violet, who's lovely, and PeePaw, among others. The peak of the thru-bubble definitely is in Connecticut now. Heat and humidity, yes, but there's blueberries a-plenty, too. :D

Fingers crossed that the trend continues for you, Astro.

Meanwhile, up here, we're enjoying Arkansas weather in CT, with the added bonus that the air here is much more polluted than in Rackensack. It's time to hide indoors or near or in cool water. Or feel well northward and higher in elevation for cooler temps. High today on Mt. Washington - about 63 F. I can dig it. Grayson Highlands, in that respect, should be nice for you.

FC, and Lone Wolf was right between us (left before I got there). You were at Laurel Falls late Friday afternoon? I remember meeting a couple (and I thought her name might have been Mama Bear). The couple seemed really nice and then while i was climbing down all those rocks I realized I forgot to introduce myself. If that was y'all I am sorry about that.

I take risks hiking solo. Been on snowfields early in the morning when a fall would could have been fatal if I couldn't self arrest. Took my time chopping steps. Fording rivers, etc. If I die in the backcountry I die doing something I enjoy. Beats the heck out of getting run over by a drunk driver or some other everyday hazard.

I have an uncle (dead now) who's biggest fear was dying while staring at a flouresent light bulb in some godforsaken institution. Now mind you my uncle was not the biggest go-getter in life.

Right back at you, dmax. We really enjoyed talking with you guys and hanging out for a bit at the shelter after lunch. As for the trout, I took one nice Rainbow (about 12 inches) below the falls around where the concrete is poured to get around the rock ledge. Tried at the falls for a bit but I wasn't willing to wade any further than the very shallow rocks before the pool. Without a fly rod it was hard to get my casts out very far.

Wow - it IS a small world. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to chat further. My wife and I were talking last night trying to remember exactly where we met you near the falls and finally came up with the right person and conversation but couldn't quite place the place.

As for the weather, it was beautiful while we were down there. Cool and sunny with puffy clouds. Ok. When we were on little hump and big hump they were socked in in the morning but it was still very nice. Now that I'm back up here in Northern, VA it is once again in the 90s today. Hope some of that cooler air stays down there for you, Astro.
