Hitch #4 Greenfield State Park

For hitch #5 I was at Greenfield State Park. We finished and painted the existing shelter and built a second shelter. The first shelter had been started during training and needed the last of the siding and trim put up. This hitch was relaxing due to the good cool weather, the fact that we all had enough knowledge of the work to complete the tasks with ease, and the lazy evenings hanging around camp. The campsite was close enough to walk to town and the local grocery store (which we did daily for snacks after work). We finished our pack out back at Bear Brook and began our 9 day summer break.

Many people left for break to go to various places, but a few of us stayed at camp and had very relaxing days. There were a few trips to town, family visitors, hours spent swimming and enjoying the rope swing, and many hours of couch potato-ing. There is now only a week left in August. Soon the weather will begin cooling down for good as Autumn approaches. Tomorrow we leave for hitch #5, and I will be headed to Bunnell Notch Trail in the White Mountains for a back country hitch. I am assured this hitch will be a good deal of hard work, from the two mile uphill hike to our campsite to moving and setting rocks each day. I hope for good weather and many good stories to tell.
