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 thatЧитать далее
Inn at the Long Trail
29 сентября 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 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 ofЧитать далее

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 atЧитать далее
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 октября 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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.Читать далее
Bob's Diner
5 октября 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌫 8 °C
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 motelЧитать далее

Stratton Mountain

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 октября 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 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,Читать далее
Glastenbury Mountain
6 октября 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 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. CompletelyЧитать далее
Congdon Shelter
7 октября 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 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 toЧитать далее

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

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 октября 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 theirЧитать далее
