Knowing that we were going to tackle Mt. Mansfield, we decided to take a warm up hike near home. The Herrick Trail is a "blue" trail that leads into the AT. The highlight of the hike was the confluence of the Housatonic and Ten Mile Rivers. The Ned Anderson Bridge is named after the man who spearheaded the creation of the Appalachian Trail in Connecticut.
We enjoyed a simple lunch as Bailey splashed in the water. Wanting to cut my apple, I realized it was missing from my pocket (big hole). We prayed to St. Anthony and looked carefully for it on the 2.5 return trip. I placed my pack on the hood of the car and looked down to find it.Thank you St Anthony!
