15 miles today. Total miles so far: 192.5.
15 miles to Cornell and a much-needed rest day. I was up early in case I was as slow as the previous day, but I was moving a bit better. I admired a loon while making my way around the lake, was surprised to see a hiker box on trail, letting people share items and activities. Then on to an area that had recently been logged, including around the campsite I had planned to get to yesterday, so my shorter day worked out. I was still taking several breaks but kept them short since town was calling. The trail was in good condition and I made reasonably good time until a road walk with new, awkwardly sized gravel that spit me onto a not-so-great paved road walk. Then back into the woods, where mosquitos were becoming more abundant, then a final road walk into town. I couldn't resist a milkshake but collapsed on the couch at the Airbnb on my arrival. I unbandaged my giant blister to find that it was much improved, quite an accomplishment considering my miles. Laundry, pizza, beer, sleep.
