Shakedown hike day 1

In true Nash form, I got a much later start today than I wanted to. I decided in the car on the way to the trail that I would reverse my original plan, and start in Great Barrington MA and hike south to CT, and back. I only got to hike a few hours because when I arrived at the first shelter, I realized that I didn't have enough daylight to reach the next shelter 14 miles away. On top of a mountain now, and it's beautiful, sunny, and 76 degrees. Also, fantastic view.
