Sat 6/27 - 3+ hours hike

First day off from running/training in who knows how long. Spent the night camping on Sperry Road halfway up Mt. Greylock. This has become quite the production since the last time I was there in 2004 thanks to no cars being allowed into the campground. After packing everything out, went for a waterfall-inspired hike that included a loop on Deer Hill and an out and back to the March Cataract. The Deer Hill trail was absurdly obnoxiously steep, March Cataract much more mellow. Accessed both via the Hopper trail from where the car was parked, after all this I was feeling pretty bushed. With heavy rain and wind in the forecast, the decision was made to spend the night at Bascom Lodge instead of in a tent. After heading to the summit, I had sufficient energy to consider doing an easy shakeout in the parking lot but the weather was going downhill really fast and I simply didn't have the gear for it.
