May 25, 2009 - Day 8

Starting from Ft. Montgomery/Bear Mountain (New York)
Hiked 14 miles

The taxi cab driver picked the guys up at the hotel and took them close to where they got off the trail yesterday. Apparently New York taxi cab drivers are dare devils. Navigator said that the taxi drivers scared him more than anything he ever did on the trail.

The day went well. Turtle and Navigator stopped at a convenience store located near a road crossing to get cold drinks around mid afternoon and that seemed to give them the stamina that they needed to get to their intended destination for the day. Navigator’s knee continues to give him intermittent pain and Turtle’s stamina is still low, but slightly improved.

The change in schedule means that tonight is a tent camping night. They are staying in the woods, but close to a road crossing. Hopefully they will be able to get a good night sleep. The weather is supposed to be a little cooler tomorrow morning so that should help as well.

Miles completed: 122.2
