On my way to my last shelter before the Inn. Looking down Brandon Gap. I think I have to climb that mountain next.
David Logan Shelter

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 that Czytaj więcej
Inn at the Long Trail
29 września 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
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 of Czytaj więcej
Killington Peak
30 września 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
Nick and I were on the top of Killington at around noon. Real easy climb. We heard a humming noise coming from behind the woods a bit downhill. We checked it out to find the K1 gondola running. I Czytaj więcej

No cell service for a while, so a little catch up. We stayed at Governor Clement Shelter last night. It rained all night, but stopped in time for us to hike. Nick and I are doing a 15 miler today, Czytaj więcej
Greenwall Shelter

Nick and I got 15 done yesterday, and landed here. Some ups and downs, and the last mile was straight up. We got into tractor mode and finished the day. Only 10 today with interesting sights. The sun Czytaj więcej

I knew this was going to be a more interesting day. Half an hour into the hike
Lost Pond Shelter

I know, just another shelter. They all look the same down south. This one has the notoriety of being at mile 201. I just past 200 a mile back. We got here just as the light rain started. Not cold at Czytaj więcej
Styles Peak

On our way to Bromley. Just an update while I have cell service. One more long climb today, but it doesn't look too steep. Light rain, but warm.
Bromley Mountain
4 października 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
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. Czytaj więcej
Bob's Diner

It's 6:15, and I am standing outside Bob's Diner waiting for the waitress to show up. Got to get a big breakfast, because I have to climb uphill for 3 miles to get back to the LT. I stayed at a motel Czytaj więcej

Better view of Manchester. Back on the trail in sunny skies, finally.
Stratton Pond

Yes! Everyone told me this is a beautiful place, and I got here in perfect weather. Next stop, Stratton Mountain, 3 miles forward (and up).
Stratton Mountain
5 października 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
I'm at the top. This is the last high mountain I'll climb for the rest of the hike. I climbed the fire tower, and got this view. The fall colors are starting to show.
Kelly Stand Road
5 października 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
I stealth camped just before the USFS road to Arlington. It's still another 4 miles to the next shelter and it is 4:30pm. I hiked 12 LT miles and 3 miles from Manchester. 15 miles is a good day, Czytaj więcej
Glastenbury Mountain
6 października 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
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. Completely Czytaj więcej
Congdon Shelter
7 października 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
This is it, my last night on the trail. Tomorrow I hike 10 miles to the Mass Border, then backwards to meet Neal at a trailhead parking lot. That's about 3 miles. There are no big hills or highways to Czytaj więcej

The rain held off and it is a great day to hike. Only a couple hours left. I'm slowing down to enjoy it.
The Finish Line
8 października 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
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
9 października 2016, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
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 their Czytaj więcej
