Journal Entry: Progress update on 31 July

Somewhere this morning (Friday) in northwestern Connecticut I passed the point where I only ("only," he says!) had 700 miles left to walk. Right at the moment this evening I have 690.3 miles left to the hike.

Oh, and I'm in Salisbury, CT. That gives me 1,498.9 miles hiked so far from Springer Mountain in Georgia to where I got off the Trail this afternoon to get into town. So early Saturday morning at some point I will have hiked 1,500 mikes on the AT.

And the Massachusetts border is at 1,506.3 … Moving right along here.

Trail Pix from Kurt’s hike

Just plain interesting on the AT. This is where the Trail crosses Hurds Corner Road a little bit past NY Rt 22. Hikers climb over the farm fence, and then take a long sunny walk through several meadows in this rural community from which people commute into New York City. #appalachiantrail #newyork #farms #watertower #AT2015
