I was lucky to get the chance to attend the 2014 Great Eastern Trail Board Meeting near Corning, New York last weekend. It was a reunion of wonderful people who made last year's hike possible. The people on the left are those who make the GET happen. I wish I could download their wisdom into my own brain.
Especially huge thanks to Pat, who not only retrieved me from the airport (and got me back there) but hosted the event at the lovely Watson Homestead. What a perfect weekend.
There is lots of forward momentum on the GET. I'm excited about all the discussions that took place last weekend and I look forward to watching this trail "grow up" and get better every year.
The morning before I flew back to Minnesota we all hiked to Moss Hill Lean To, the northern terminus of the GET. It couldn't have been a more beautiful morning to be out and about. While there, I got to see Strider's note in the register (North Country Trail thruhiker) and I left a note for current GET hikers Taylor and Gramps.
But the highlight of the hike may have been finding the Pennsylvania rock that Bart carried to New York.
