July 29

Sunshine and I stayed at Toms today, we rode to town with him and had lunch along with a south bounder named pink leprechaun.  Nomad a hiker turned trail angel also showed up today in the Van, aka the Vanimal. We talked a while and realized we had not seen one another since uncle jonnies in TN. After a while he said he would slack pack us 23 miles tomorrow which will make today a free zero day. In the evening sunshine and I barrowed Toms bikes and rode down to a restaurant for dinner.  When we arrived back at Toms house, Timber, little engine and ambo had returned from their slack pack. Nomad took the girls to his hotel for showers, and the guys were left to fend for ourselves.  Timber and I improvised,  we took a ladder and wrapped a tarp around it and secured it with cordage. Once the framework was done we put the hose through the hammer slot and let the water flow. The shower works great if you can take the cold. Tonight we will sleep inside and hopefully get some good rest before a big day of slack packing over mount Greylock.
