This is day 112 of my border to border calendar year triple crown hike.
I left Williamstown this morning and planned to go about 33 miles for the day.
It was such a beautiful day and the trail was wonderful.
I met up with Iceman in the afternoon for lunch which was such a great treat and surprise.
Then the day took a dark turn, as I had a potentially dangerous run in with a man at a shelter.
It’s always important on trail to keep your wits about you and act as quickly as possible in questionable situations. I don’t know what the man’s intentions were, and I probably never will. Perhaps I was never in any real danger! Or perhaps he had some dark intentions and I didn’t give him the chance to act.
Either way, I’m glad I got out of there as quickly as I could.
I’m almost 3,000 miles in for the year so far. And even with all the chaos I still managed a 33 mile day.
If you enjoy this video and want to buy me a snack or a drink along the trail, I’ll link my Venmo below. Any and all support is greatly appreciated!
