Hailstorm

Spoke to the Hulk today.

Tuesday night was terrible all around. They got to Telephone Pioneer Shelter and it looked like the shelter was full so camped nearby. Around 10 there was a heavy rain that turned to hail. Completely soaked and cold, Hulk moved into the shelter with a few dry clothes and one of those foil emergency blankets trying to warm up. Of course it makes a lot of noise everytime he shifted around, waking everybody in the shelter up. Around 3 am one woman had had it and got up and night hiked to Pawling, but she was nice and left her sleeping bag for Hulk to climb in and finally warm up. He was very sorry to bother the group and carried the bag to her the next day. Thank you sleeping bag lady.

Anyway, He, AB, PD spent night at Duchess Hotel in Wingdale, Connecticut on Wednesday for a full recovery. They are in Kent right now, doing laundry and resupply. Kent is very New Englandly nice. Hulk is a little sad because he has enjoyed the company of Angry Beaver and Prairie Dog, but they are taking it easy today, and he still has 15-17 miles to go.

Goal is to be in Mass. by Sunday.
