(Daily Mi: 1.5) Screwed around until very late today. Confirmed that Chris was forwarding my winter gear, and mailed my bounce box on to Glenncliff. Ran into Blackhawk and Squaw at the PO. They took a couple of days in N. Adams MA w/friends and Squaw was knocked out w/the same Viking born infection that laid me so low. We curse him for a few minutes and M put me on the Trail at about 3 p.m. V short, flat walk to the shelter.

Had to laugh because about forty-five minutes after I arrived, who should come in but the Apricot who I haven't seen since NY state. He is very impressed that he has caught back up with me. I remind him that he is only 28 years old and really ought to be able to catch up to me.

Find the Woodman's entry from two days before. No idea how far he ahead he might be.
