AT Day 32 Wawayanda shelter to Fingerboard shelter


Miles: ~14

Total: 372

Today was a long and challenging day. Lots of ups and downs, lots of rocks, lots of climbing. As we were coming into our last four miles we were called over to a truck by a fellow hiker by the name of Easy Strider. At the truck was Paddy-O with his trail magic truck. He gave us hot dogs, beer and whiskey while he kept the truck radio playing all my favorite folk songs. It was so wonderful. Then as were were leaving an hour later he played us “Well May the World Go” by Pete Seeger for our departure song. After the magic truck we hiked into beautiful land.
The trees were huge and spread out and between them all was tall and fluffy grass. The hills were huge and rolling with massive flat rocks all through the grass. So gorgeous.
Tonight we’re at the shelter and Paddy-O just came back up with more beer and trail stories!
