day zero - getting to Bear Mountain, NY
The sun hasn’t come up yet, but I was awake, frantically checking my
bags to make sure I have everything I’d need for the next five days. I
tried to take as little as possible, even though I didn’t have to carry
it on my bike. I got it down to one medium sized shoulder bag, and I’m
convinced that I must have forgotten something.
