mt. algo lean-to (CT)

21.1 miles, 1455.6 total.
very nice day. finally. section hiker, jerryatric, woke up and started moving around at 5:00 AM. what??? who does that?
so I was on the trail by 7:00. knees were really sore, but they got better as the day progressed.
left ny late in the afternoon an the trail and scenery changed almost immediately. better marked, better maintained, and nicer signs in Connecticut. although, trail was still wet and muddy from last few days of rain. afternoon was sunny and dry, so I was able to get more stuff dried out.
this shelter is right next to a stream and there are bugs everywhere, so i set up the tent nearby just a four section hikers arrived and threw their junk all over the shelter. going to bed right away because I'm beat.

later,
L
