Connected more of my Appalachian Trail journey together today, from Route 41 (parking area a few miles from Lions Head) to join my turn-a-round spot last weekend (side-trail to Limestone Spring Campsite).

Enjoyed the Barrack Matiff Plateau, Billy's View, Giants Thumb, Rand's View, and the incredible gorge leading to Limestone Spring Shelter.  Once done, I had 9.7-miles completed.

Since getting back on the Appalachian Trail last summer, I have completed a little over 29-miles of the Connecticut Section.  I have also completed the Massachusetts Section from the Connecticut Line at Sages Ravine to Route 7 (roughly 14.7-miles).
