"The big day!"
In preparation for the longest day of the trip -- a whopping 50
miles, the trekkers woke up a half an hour earlier this morning so they could
beat the heat, and get a jump on their way from Albany to Saratoga. Since they
were in Albany, Leader Andy invited his family to join for continental breakfast
and to see them off in the morning. At the time of the writing of this blog (1pm
eastern time), the trekkers are in Mechanicsville eating lunch, halfway to
Saratoga. Luckily Andy was able to reserve sites early, and we got the ones
that are right next to the bathroom and showers.
