🌜Steve’s Lake House pt2

Today we were treated to “Slack Packing”… essentially by using the lake house as home base and getting a lift from Trickshot’s visiting friend Bus Driver we were able to hike the trail without carrying any unnecessary gear. It was liberating and in ways inspiring… but I did slip somewhat dramatically a few times (tough terrain with wet conditions here in the early Berkshires, and new shoes~ getting used to the treads and maybe going too fast). I did catch a fall on my hands and I’m watching it closely 😝

We hiked into the early evening and got picked up at our rendezvous.

Big dinner plans back at the lake house- a Mexican stew and a pie… Trickshot made everything. Busdriver works in a gourmet cheese shop and she also bought a charcuterie board and some fancy snacks.

Fun time chatting, board games, and enjoying a cozy fire the woodstove. Off to bed late and plans for the morning are likely to include breakfast and resupply trip in Great Barrington and hiking afterwards.Read more
