🌜 Stealth camping near 1371.3

Mile 1371.3
It was a rainy and wet day for most of today with a partial clearing in the afternoon showcasing a fantastic rainbow over Greenwood Lake. From up here we could actually see elements of the Manhattan skyline! It’s a busy weekend on trail and shelter space is competitive so we opted for camping tonight in an unofficial location. There is a raging creek nearby with a waterfall and a small clearing amid the rocks for our tents. The location puts us in a good spot for breakfast in town tomorrow morning.

Other noteworthy adventures from today: amazing bog environment walk on Pochuck boardwalk for almost 1 mile, super slippery mossy rocks everywhere (lookout!), long break at the tourist trap farm stand (so many good snacks), crossed the border from NJ to NY (again?), and I made the best trail dinner ever: a chili bread bowl! 17 miles of hiking in the rain (again). 😂Læs mere
