Just passing through with an overnight stay. Lot of confusion about the distance to the Inn, but it is now apparent it will be a 14 mile day. The terrain has eased up a lot, so it shouldn't be thatMeer informatie

It's an oasis. I haven't been off the trail for a couple of weeks, since the B&B in Jeffersonville, and a quick resupply stop in Waitsfield. I pushed longer daily miles and got here a day ahead ofMeer informatie

Bromley Mountain

Top of a ski mountain. We easily made it to this warming hut. Good thing, because it rained all night. Was hoping for a nice sunrise, but got fog instead. We're warm and dry, so I'm not complaining.Meer informatie

Glastenbury Mountain

I was being very ambitious thinking I would hike 21 miles today. I got moving at 7am, as soon as the daylight permitted. I based that decision on the trail conditions from the day before. CompletelyMeer informatie

You see that line on the map? That's it! I was sure I would make it, but it feels real good to get here. I have a leisurely 3 miles back to meet Neal, then I will sit for two days before coming home.
Neal's Camp

Neal picked me up from a random dirt road 3 miles from the finish. I had to walk down it about a mile, because only ATV's could get up it. On the way there were a couple of guys hanging by theirMeer informatie
