    Amazing views from the tower! The cooler filled with food was a nice surprise.

      the tower was so cool! the cooler with the food may have been even cooler after that tough day! lol

      I’m just waiting to see how it ends (I heard about the boulders and you would tell it how it is) and if it looks okay - I am so going to hike the AT and “walk in your footsteps!” You make me excited and focused on making a plan!

    I've been following your journey from the start. I can't wait to see you summit Katahdin. I summited on June 11th, 2021. I can't imagine what it would be like up there this time of year. Good luck, Kelly!

      After you summit, go back down the Abol Trail. It's the fastest way down.. Be prepared to do some bouldering.. Make sure you fill up on water at Katahdin Stream. There's slim pickings on the way up and there's next to nothing above treeline.

    I am glad you enjoyed, and posted, the videos from Mt. Greylock. I consider that one of our states best jewels. The folks in North Adams are especially hiker friendly. Williamstown also. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!!!!!

    The red in the water is likely from high iron content...FYI

  • @rosewhite3326
    @rosewhite3326 2 роки тому

    The red can also be from tree roots treading tannins in the water.

    • @kellyhays23
      @kellyhays23  2 роки тому

      Yeah we learned about the tannins! I kinda grew to like the taste they gave the water lol

  • @jamesadams2334
    @jamesadams2334 2 роки тому

    The water color is from tanic acid from the conifer trees. It wont hurt you and most all wilderness water in Canada looks like that.

    Here's another missed opportunity. What is the big flat rock in front of the tower? I can't find it on the web!

    The red is probably iron, which is incredibly nice water and long as your 100% sure it is.

    That was a monster day! So happy you were blessed with clear skies at the Mt Greylock war tower after having endured so much rain and humidity! Another good restaurant choice at the Trail House! Good way to beat the Massachusetts blues.

    • @kellyhays23
      @kellyhays23  2 роки тому

    Hey Kelly! Another “perfect” day in Mass! That’s not blood in the water, that’s just what our streams look like after a good storm, all the iron gets stirred up. Looks red and tastes nasty! Omg a whole day with no town food! How did you make it!!! You totally lucked out with the weather and that the lighthouse was open! That descent into town is killer. I much rather climb it! Huge shout out to the angel that left the magic! North Adam’s is an awesome town, you should come back up in the van! What an awesome day! 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. #giveashit

    You could hike north until you have to climb Katahdin, do the climb and then hike Sobo from there.

    Ok, I have to ask - what hiker carries change to put in an overlook binocular? ;)

    • @kellyhays23
      @kellyhays23  2 роки тому +3

      the change was leftover from showers and laundry
