We got out relatively early at High Point shelter by 7:30. It was an 8 mile day, and some of the lowest, softest, easiest trail of the entire trip – really a beautiful stroll – mostly down with a few 200 ups.
we hiked into Unionville, New York, 0.3 off the trail and immediately liked the town. There was a city park that you could camp in for free. The park had a little gazebo, swings, benches, a basketball court, and lots of low-cut sweet grass. We took a long nap in the .afternoon, and then went over to Annabella’s pizza and Italian restaurant. I should put restaurant in quotes – It was really a sub-sandwich place with pizza, pretty good. We ate our lunch, hung out in the gazebo at the park , watched some of the Republican national convention had some ice cream at Main Street scoops and enjoyed the beautiful cool evening, charging our phones on the porch of the general store. We slept in the gazebo, and it was not very comfortable. Lots of sounds and lights from the cars coming by, and none of us slept really well.
