AT Day 6, Caledonia State Park to Quarry Gap Shelter

May 14 - Day 6
Caledonia - Quarry Gap
Miles: 2.6
Total 62.6

Shannon: I hurt my ankle yesterday so we stopped in Caledonia.  It was still hurting today so we hiked slowly 2.6 miles to Quarry Gap.  We were here for 9:40 AM and have been chilling out all day (it is raining anyways). We met a guy named John there - he spent most of his life in the military doing anti-terrorism work and combat diving.  He talked a lot about his time in Lebanon trying to get them to make peace with Syria.  Anyway, it was really interesting listening to his stories.  Also he is from Salsbury MA, AND his daugher's name is Shannon and his son's name is Sean.  Strange.

Jamie:  Rainy day!  It's OK though, we needed to take some time to see how Shannon's ankle is.  Interesting to share this space with people, as it feels like the story "Inn at the End of the World" in the Sandman by Neil Gaiman, but with less food, drink, and mythical creatures.
