Adventures as a family
Someday is today
Day 21 on the Vermont Long Trail
We woke up around 6:30 this morning and headed out. The trail had a lot of ups and down’s, which the downs were steep. Tiny Turtle took some falls along with the rest of us. A section of the trail shortly after leaving the shelter had a wooden ladder and then metal holds down the cliff. Read More
Day 20 on the Vermont Long Trail
We woke up early this morning. We did not sleep much through the night. Family Mule and I were on edge for some reason. We started packing up around 6:30. I turned on my phone to check for reception so I could hopefully check in with family. I did not have much reception at all but I had an alert from PayPal! It was actually a couple days old.

Day 19 on the Vermont Long Trail
We woke up this morning to a nice cup of hot chocolate! Yum! We packed up and hit the trail about 8:30 when the rain lightened. We were moving slowing because everything was very wet and slick. Tiny Turtle called them slick pads. Read More
Day 18 on the Vermont Long Trail
We woke up at 6:45 this morning to pack and hit the 9:22 shuttle to Rutland. We then caught the 10:45 shuttle to Middlebury. Dreamer was falling a sleep on the bus. It was so funny because she laid on the window and her head was just bobbing as the bus drove but it did not phase her at all. Read More
Day 17 on the Vermont Long Trail
We woke up to a delicious breakfast at the inn with MaGyver and Mary. They were headed home for the weekend. After breakfast we caught the shuttle to Rutland to resupply. I tried to use the computer at the library but they require you to get a library card, which requires an ID. Read More
Day 16 on the Vermont Long Trail
We hit the trail around 8:00 this morning. We only had 4.5 miles to the road, so we were not in a rush. The terrain from Sucker Brook Shelter was climbing almost as soon as we started the trail. It is tough when the terrain starts at an incline because your legs are not warmed up yet. Read More
Day 15 on the Vermont Long Trail
We woke up to heavy rain this morning. Everyone stayed in the shelter hoping the rain would ease up a little. It finally did around 8:30. We hit the trail around 10. It was a very late start but we knew the trail would be very wet plus we had to climb Mt. Horrid today. Read More
Day 14 on the Vermont Long Trail
Family Mule was up most of the night fighting the mice away from the shelter. Yes, David Logan Shelter has a bad mouse problem. Ugh! The morning was chilly. We started packing up around 6:45 and hit the trail around 8. It was a slow moving morning. Read More
Day 13 on the Vermont Long Trail
We packed up around 6:30 am and heading across the street to the inn for a good breakfast with MaGyver. It was a delicious and filling. We met up with Shaggy after breakfast and headed on the trail. The trail starts directly behind the inn, which is convenient. Read More
Day 12 on the Vermont Long Trail
We woke and had a delicious breakfast at the inn. The breakfast is part of the package and was more than we could eat! That says a lot for hungry hikers. We then packed everything up except what we decided to leave in the hiker box. Read More
