Another call today from a good reception area. They report they have seen 10 bears in about the last 24 hours. Last night the shelter was heavy with mosquitos. One of the other thru-hikers had 100% DEET repellent on and still could not thwart the mosquitos.They were to cross the New York State Thruway today. Unfortunately, they will have to skip visiting Graymoor. Have read at least one book about this place, and it has a connection to our local Westminster. Tonight they will be camping outdoors, somewhere around the trail to West Mountain Shelter. Will probably have walked about 22.7 miles today.
They have noticed there is a lot more trash on the AT here, probably due to the close proximity to civilization, several road intersections as well with the AT. The water supply looks very iffy as well....very acidy.
