Pink Blazing

Hello all from Kent, CT

Ally (Right Way) and I arrived here in Kent this morning. We have had a very hard week out on the trail with some steep terrain 100 degree temps and some wicked humidity. With much perseverance and patience we prevailed with minimal calls placed to divorce lawyers. Ally did at one point call our hike a death march. She did a great job and I am very proud of her. We even did a 19 mile day one day a feat that takes most thru-hikers several weeks to work up to. Y'all should buy her a drink the next time you see her, she deserves it.

New York was interesting for the many delis, ice cream stands and stop overs. Excellent traps for hikers tired of being in the heat. Ally got to meet lots of other hikers and I think got a good sense of what the community is like out here. She will be leaving me tomorrow though and I'll be strapping my sandals back on and walking my way north. I bought a ticket out of Bangor ME for the 18th of August so my pace will be quick and I'm now unrefundably committed to finishing.

Hope all is well in the world! -Wrong Way
