Tom, Steve and I spent the day with two friends who are thru-hiking the Appalachian trail. Today Cathy and Kate are slackpacking a section from South Highlands road in Fahnestock SP to Bear mountain while Tom's wife Anna shuttles their packs and our rehydration bevs and snacks. Canopus Hill is one the few "bumps" we go over on our way south to rendezvous with Anna at the Appalachian Deli on Rt 9 just passed the Graymoor monastery.
