tough hike for first ten miles. scout was as truculent. trail magic at mile 9 made things ok. we ran into j5 and hiked together all day along with JPEG . saw a bear entering Harriman . took a 2 hour break at lake toriati with kickapoo , scout, j5, pogono, wings. ate a ice creeam sandwich and gm had a couple cokes 

vernon to wildcat shelter ny

Tammy and Rosie started out with me. Rosie bounded up the trail. ran into day hiker Elaine at top of wawayanda Mtn. had a great chat. ran into scout soon and we chatted and laughed all day. we got totally preoccupied with conversation and time flew till we were at belvale creamery. we took 2 1/2 hours there hammering ice cream before limping off to camp with Kickapoo, pogono, sautee , wings, patch, forester gump. 

zero day with family.
