Camping at Ten Mile River 1458.3

Today's plan was to get as close as possible to Kent, Connecticut. There we need to head tomorrow for a resupply and check if the new sea2summit bag is at the post office. We had a great breakfast at the Deli where we stayed with a breakfast sandwich (Bacon, Cheese & Egg) and a Everything bagel with cream cheese. Besides that our own stuff, so we were stuffed and ready for miiiiiiiiles.
In the morning we saw a cute woodchuck just before it hid in the bushes. Although it wasn't on my list, we were glad to see it just a few days after seeing it in the zoo. We figured that woodchucks are like beavers but didn't study engineering so they don't construct dams :D
As usual when we're moving fast in the morning we get a lot slower after the lunch break. So we already stopped an hour later to have a nap at the Garden Center which is hiker friendly. It was tough moving on but after a little bit we came by the largest oak tree on the AT :) Impressive...
As there were no camp spots along the trail (apparently because it's not allowed to camp outside designated areas) we needed to shoot for the Shelter. And we even went by it, so we just set up our tent next to the river as it was already dark and we couldn't move on anymore.Læs mere
