July 31 – Benedict Pond (Day 134 – milepoint 1505.8)

Slow going in the morning, for everyone it seemed, before-during-and-after a bus ride and a short hitch back to the trailhead.

Ran into Aunt Marty, Pixie, Earth Surfer and gang who have just recently caught up to us. They invited Achilles and I to join them for a spaghetti dinner at Benedict Pond and they did not have to ask twice. A great evening swim in Benedict Pond, a very satisfying dinner, and I’m early to bed.
