Nice afternoon. I wasn’t sure where I would hike today but I decided to hike Stratton Mountain. 🗻 Camping has been fun although late last afternoon we had some showers but generally been decent weather. I took the tarp down. Unfortunately last night my hammock ripped so I’ll have to decide what’s next for that as I kind of like using the hammock.
