Day 35 - Thursday, August 10, 2017

Mt. Greylock Summit to Congdon Shelter (VT) - 20.4 Miles

Finally passed into Vermont middle morning.  This is my last state for 2017.  There are 150 AT miles in VT and at present I have 140 to go  in the next 9 to 10 days.   Weather was once again nice but tomorrow is the last good day for a while.   Rain is expected Saturday and Sunday and most of next week.  

Vermont is living up to it's reputation of roots and mud.  There was alot of mud  and swampy areas on the trail today.  It's not looking like it will improve with the pending rain.  

I should make my initial destination of Manchester Ctr on Sunday.   However,  I plan to push on to the NH line before the end of the week.   

Lisa has been so supportive over last 5 weeks I can't thank her enough.  I'm a luck guy to have her in my life.

  2. Bruce,

    Congrats for making it to VT. Not sure where the exact location you are but near my old stomping grounds. Grew up in Arlington and worked in Manchester.

    Probably too late, but I could have arranged for you to get restocked once got near Arlington/Manchester.

    Look forward to hearing about the trip once you get back.

    Andy
