NY to CT - Mile 1,450

We left family behind at Bear Mtn bridge and were back on our own on the trail. We hit a day of heavy rain after leaving Cornwall. NY started to get hilly; we are out of the flat states and back in the mountains.
We entered our 10th state of Connecticut on July 11th.

 Pavilion at Graymoor spiritual center, NY. This friary lets hikers stay at their pavilion and use the restrooms.
 Trail crew feeds hikers at RPH shelter. Good food, good people!

The train stop for hikers heading to New York City

Worst campsite ever. We stayed at the end of the garden center lot, with a highway on one side and the train tracks on the other. It was a bad night's sleep.

Love the train stop to NYC! Wonder how many hikers take a side trip?

What a variety of shelters you have stayed at. The friary pavillion was sure roomy.
And who knew the train stopped for hikers on the AT?!
