Someday is today
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… Continue Reading “Day 15 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… Continue Reading “Day 14 on the Vermont Long Trail”
