Trail Name - Water Monkey 
Great stuff Watermonkey! Is this charity hike going to be a solo for you or can the public join in and hike?
Anyone is willing to come with for part or all of the hike. I plan on doing about 10 – 15 mile days depending on weather and how I’m feeling that day. And I’m staying in town for a couple of days to do laundry and get some rest (after all I am on vacation) around the 70 mile marker in Great Barrington, MA
[…] please, Head on over to WaterMonkey.net for more details and help the Monkey raise some funds. Plus, the more we donate, the more […]

I so wanted to hang for a night with you on this trip but unfortunately after reviewing your schedule it won’t be possible. I’ll have to catch up with you another time.
