July 31, 1983 Sunday (770.9 mtg) From Gonzo!s Appalachian Trail journal You would have thought that after such a large dinner last night I would not be able to eat much this morning, but I managed to get down seven bowls of cereal, with at least four cups of milk, apricots, eggs and ham, many pieces of coffee cake, and two cups of orange juice! I left
the monestary with Terri at about 8:30 am. I soon left her in the
dust as I stretched out my legs, and reached Canopus Lake in Fahnstock
State Park where there was a swimming area in the local lake beside
the trail. Did not really swim, but just kind of sat down and
reclined in the shallow water to cool me down. Although it was
lunch time, I didn't really eat - I was finally full from breakfast. Upon
arrival I was offered a beer! What a welcoming. I declined and took
a soda instead. The members of Ralph's Peak Hikers were there this
Sunday and were having a party for any hikers that happened to come
by. Lucky for me. I had watermelon, fruit of various kinds, cookies,
pretzels, pudding, etc. and later some ice cream after they took
me to the store just down the road. The place even featured real
beds to sleep in. The other hikers showed up later and were treated
just the same. I love New York!
