CT is Beautiful!!

Salisbury, CT Library

CT is a beautiful state.  The bugs are the worst here by far but the hiking has been wonderful.  I have slowed my pace a bit so my days are a bit longer.  I am currently in the town of Salisbury, CT.  Weather has been pretty good with a few afternoon thunderstorms.  However, tonight we are under flash flood warnings until the morning so I plan to find a roof tonight. 

I haven't shared my injury story yet on the blog due to pride but enough people know already so I guess I'll share it.  I fell in New Jersey down some rocks and injured a toe on my left foot.  I thought it would go away but it actually kept getting worse.  I finally went to see a Dr and they confirmed that I have a hairline fracture.  He told me that there is not much he can do but it would help to stay off of it... so I continued hiking.  It has slowed me down and hurts on the downhills but I have managed to limp through it.

I should probably take a couple of days to rest my foot.  We will see what happens.  The MA border is within a days walk from here... 

Below are a couple of pictures and a link to a video I took of Kokepelli playing the American Indian Flute.   http://youtu.be/BBRQML6gLsQ 

Thanks for all the emails and encouragement... Switchback!
