From Sept 27 - Now he's begging

Glastonbury Mt. Fire tower towards Mt. Greylock
Spent the night at Kid Gore Shelter with three fellows from Ohio and Pennsylvania. They have been hiking a week on the AT for the last 28 years. They met on the AT and the fellow from penn. Met his wife on the AT. These guys were good fun. It was their last day and they insisted that I needed to stay at the hostel on top of Greylock. The view is incredible. After these last two fire towers I start figuring out how that could happen and actually it fits right into my schedule. The north side is supposed to be a steep climb. A “mini white mountains” my buddy MAV says who passed thru there about a month ago. Then it's a gentle roll down to Cheshire, MA. The trail goes right thru town. There's a Catholic Church ( no showers) that gives hikers a bunk for a donation. That would be an ok place for trail end this season. I hear the greyhound comes to Williamstown. Then I just have to figure out how to get back to there. Before these guys shove off I beg the almost empty fuel canister they are not going to need to get home. I'll need it to boil water
