Another long hike from the end of Beaver Meadow road.

Planned to take another long hike, but pooped out and sat for a while at the intersection of the VAST trail and the AT/LT.

Took pictures of a section of barbed wire for a CD cover.

Long hike down the Homer Stone Brook, up to Little Rock Pond, back to the car.

More wandering around on paths through woods.

Drove down to Shunk.

Paul and i took a 22-mile bike ride from the lake down the old railroad grade along Schrader Creek to route 414 in Monroeton. Daddy picked us up there and gave us a ride back.

Paul packed up his kids, bikes, and dog and headed home to Chicago. I drove down to Philly. Charlie arrived by bus at 30th Street Sation at about 11:30. I had to go wake up the neighbors because they'd parked me in. Charlie wanted some food, so we drove up to Ridge Ave on the way home, looking for a place to get something. Nothing, but then i wondered if Dalesandro's was still open. We pulled in at 11:59 PM, just as they were closing down. Charlie got the last cheesesteak. Score.

Wildwood beach tournament. Charlie and i got up early and drove down to the shore. Charlie was on the competitive team, i was on the non (both teams' names had something to do with Phil), but i ended up playing on both teams, as they had alternating schedules. It was super hot. All 4 of the Rutland-area/Green Mountain College teams camped that night at a state park about half an hour inland. It was sweltering and i didn't sleep much.

Day 2 of Wildwood. By the 3rd game, the sand was too hot to walk on. You had to dig your feet under the surface while waiting for the pull.

Charlie and i drove out through a line of huge thunderstorms and Charlie saw a funnel cloud. We got to 30th Street Station at about 5:50 and went inside where Charlie checked his schedule on my iPhone using the free wifi. His bus left at 6:20, so i dropped him off there and went back to Mommy and Daddy's house.

Stopped in at the hardware store, then drove back to the lake and watched as the water shield was mowed away.

Drove back to VT.
