Bruce Shenker was awesome today--not only did he drive me to Vermont, he even suggested that I could slack pack a six-mile section that I had skipped, but he hiked in and met me for three sections.
That saved my butt, since it is so much easier to hike with a lightweight pack.

After ten miles of hiking, I suggested that since we had a car, lunch might be nice. We drove to Pittsfield, Vermont and had lunch at the general store. Quite good, too.
These fungi caught my eye due to their unusual bowl-like shape. Some guy who came along as I was taking the photo asked if I knew what they were. Of course I didn't. Then he pointed out that unlike most fungi, this variety had no gills. And, he said they were very tough--he could not rip one apart.
