Happy Father’s Day Tim! Day 50 on the Trail
[From Maris reporting in for Tim.]
Well it’s day 50 on the trail. Tim has covered more than 400 miles, 5 states and continues to lose weight (32 lbs. in about 5 weeks). He also has a salt and pepper beard and mustache. You can see how much thinner his face is now.
Monk wanted to see if he lost weight too. He didn’t.
Maris thinks the ‘stache looks cool!
[Don’t worry Jo, (Tim’s mom) he eats well when he gets into towns!]
NJ had some interesting rock formations such as Stairway to Heaven and the Lemon Squeezer (see previous post). New York was rockier than expected and had some challenges of its own. Tim survived these challenges and made it to Pawling, New York where he was able to hike a raised boardwalk that led to the Appalachian Trail Railroad that takes people into New York City.

Tim did not make the trip as he has been to NYC before and was enjoying his country experience of watching fireflies light up the night and sitting around a campfire with a father and son out for a week’s hike on the trail. Tim reported that at the Native Landscapes Garden Center they had a large Amazon parrot that whistled tunes.

Tim is currently headed towards Salisbury, Connecticut and probably has a few more days before he hits Massachusetts and the Berkshires.
Keep on trekking Tim we are with you.
