Day 37 - Saturday, August 12, 2017

Kid Gore Shelter to Stratton Mtn. Shelter - 15 Miles

Well it rained all night last night and Vermud became real.   The trails were swamps but no falls today.   I mention the falls because that usually happened once or twice per day.  

We got into Stratton Pond and decided to shelter since thunderstorms were in the forecast.  Good thing.... It's storming now as I write this blog.   I case the muddy trail will continue again tomorrow.   

Highlight of the day was climbing the fire tower on Stratton Mtn Summit.   Stratton Mtn is where Benton McCabe had the vision to create a eastern trail now known as the AT.  

Tomorrow we are hiking into Manchester Center, VT for a hostel stay.   It may take two showers to clean all the mud off me.
