The evening shower made for a cool morning. While we ate our bagel breakfast, I almost felt like we were getting ready for a bicycle ride; nostalgia dies hard. Regardless, today was excellent hiking--or biking weather.
The first 105.2 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Vermont are also the Long Trail. So far, I am loving the terrain. There's variety--mud/rock hops, steep up and downs, but my favorite is the spongy pine-needle laden trail where we can just cruise.
Enjoyed a chilly, but spectacular view from the lookout tower atop Glastenbury Mountain. Continued on to Kid Gore Shelter for lunch also with a great view.
With 12.8 miles already in the belt, we headed to Story Spring Shelter a final 4.6 miles on the day. It's refreshing to have a spring again that outputs cold, CLEAR water. Cheers!
