The hiking today seemed to be tough on us and thinking it's this weeks mile accumulation that are ouching our feet. I fell first time in sometime today but no injury. Weather much cooler but still managed to break a sweat. Actually hiked into some cool pockets of air today that were quite noticeable.
Made it to our goal of Falls Village, CT about 3:30. Very small and quiet town.
A beautiful Inn that had rooms and a Restaurant -$209 per night for a room, a general store that was closed for the day sometime before 3:30, a cafe that closes at 2, a fire station, a 6 bay repair garage and a beer store open till 8:00.
We went to the closed cafe caught the owner and we are camping on his lot. Prior to bedtime we both had a beer in a brown paper sack next to the store on 2 plastic lawn chairs provided by the beer store operator. Then we went to dinner at the Inn and sat on the large porch after eating.
I would guess less than 1000 live in this small village. They have a large falls which gave its name Falls Village.
A local told us a hiker had fallen this morning and a rescue team went in and had to helicopter them out in the town of Salisbury-this is the next town for which we'll hit tomorrow only 8 miles away-no other details other than he was with a group and was around 30 yrs old.
Turns out the injured hiker was a. Volunteer working on the trail no update on his condition.
Nothing better than a coke machine just off the trail.
