AT Day 38 - Schaghticoke Campsite to Mt. Algo Shelter

June 15th
Scaghticoke Campsite -> Mt. Algo Sheleter
Miles: ~4
Total: 452

With every intention of getting to Salsbury early, we didn't make it there until noon.  After visiting the post office to forward our food drop (we had too much with us and it is free to forward packages!), doing our laundry, visiting the library, and eating lunch, we decided we didn't want to hike the eight miles to the next shelter.  Instead we opted to buy four beers and backtrack the .6 miles (straight up, mind you) back to the Mt. Algo shelter before town where there was a HUGE crowd.  Twelve tents and four people in the shelter (and two dogs!).  Biggest group we've seen yet, but who cares!  He have our tent up, our clothes clean (first time in two weeks), meatball subs for dinner.  Life.  Is.  Good.
