I hiked from Mark Noepel up and over Greylock and down into Williamstown. The distance to the road was 9.6 miles and I think I walked about 2 miles into town and then out again in the morning. I walked in to town as far as the Howard Johnson’s. There was a Chinese restaurant across the street, and that was good enough for me. I was really looking forward to a shower, but while the bathroom it was permanently dirty and dingy. Appearances were not aided by the fact that the fixtures were that disgusting rosy brown color. I did manage to get a partial refund on the room. That place had really seen some hard use.
As I mentioned in the previous entry, my digital camera battery had given up the ghost at some point and I couldn’t get panoramas or movies from Mt. Greylock. I got a couple of images with my iPhone. This one was taken from Mt. Greylock:
I watched a couple of little planes land from here — this is the view from Mt. Prospect. I walked past the airport on the way into town.
North Adams was actually closer than Williamstown, but it had fewer options all together and no where to sleep. When I chose to do the longer road walk west, I thought that if I had any energy that night, maybe I’d take a cab in to the town proper and have a beer or something. HA! After showering and eating a pile of Kung Pao Chicken, I don’t think I moved from the bed until the next day.
