Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

In the past week we have passed through Connecticut and Massachusetts and the overriding theme has been rain! Fortunately, the first and third nights in Connecticut we stayed at Ricky's aunt and uncle's house. A nice bed was a very welcomed change from the trail, and the wonderful dinners and breakfasts didn't hurt either.

In Massachusetts we stayed at a beautiful cabin on Little Goose Pond. The caretaker even made us blueberry pancakes in the morning! The next day we hiked past a famous Appalachian trail location known as the cookie lady. There we ate some homemade cookies, farm fresh eggs, and a Klondike bar! Since then, we have passed through several small towns. Overall, the terrain though this section has been a little more challenging, but we are up for the challenge as the white mountains loom ahead of us!
