I have successfully pulled off the slackpacking between Great Barrington, MA and Dalton, MA. Below are some pictures from that section. There is a lady, "cookie lady", that runs a blueberry farm along the trail and she caters to hikers. She bakes cookies for all hikers, allows tenting on her property, you can pick fresh blueberries for $2 per lb, allows you to replenish your water from her well, and sells other snacks.

| Bro- No shoulders... the friendly kind |

| A hawk that flew through the trail and perched to watch me walk by. |

| Show how dry the trail is this year. These boards are placed b/c this is typically a very wet area. So wet that the boards are used to keep you out of the mud and damaging the trail. |
