All I can say is that Great Barrington through Salisbury is super woke and wealthy. Some farms along the way but most of them are a bit too prestine to look much like working farms, kind of the gentlemen farms where a handful of farm hands take care of beef cattle while the owners are gone Monday through Friday to work on Wall Street. New England is always kind of a woke and old fashioned compared to what you’d find in New York much less Pennsylvania or West Virginia. Definitely far from the Ward Brothers of Madison County. No burn barrels or run down trailers with a hog pen out back there to see. Just big mansions.

Earlier in the day I hiked Flag Rock overlooking Hossactonic Mass and then later Peeskawso Rock overlooking Agawam and Stockbridge. I was a bit nervous about the rock ledge on Peeskawso so I kept my distance from the ledge and didn’t go all the way to the top. Now I’m at Taconic State Park at the Harlem Valley Overlook. Checking out Rudd Pond next then heading to Rip Van Winkle bridge and if time allows will walk out on that. Then head home after stopping for toothpaste. I am glad I got away. Maybe I should have hiked some in Connecticut but nothing struck my fancy and time on All Trails compared to the Harlem Valley Overlook back in New York State.
