Day 126 – October Mountain Shelter to Dalton, MA

“Head games, it’s you and me, baby

Head games, and I can’t take it anymore

Head games

I don’t want to play the head games” – Foreigner 

Up at 7:35, on trail at 8:45. Got up late.

Overcast, 70s, humid, chance of rain all day.

Stopped at The Cookie Lady at 9:45. Awesome place. Got a big homemade berry juice , cookies, and good water! Did not need to charge anything. Played with the dogs. 

Back on trail at 10:15. I have 9.6 miles to Dalton, MA.

Got a room in Pittsfield, MA, and a  shuttle from Dalton. Got to Dalton at 3:30. Stopped at an awesome sub place to get dinner to go, then shuttled to the motel. 

Worked on blogs, called Dana, worked on planning for the next few weeks.

Head is still not in the right place. Part of it is the weather. Sunday looks rainy but doable. Monday looks terrible. I have Mount Greylock either tomorrow or Monday. Lovely. No good choices.
