Someday is today
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… Continue Reading “Day 16 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… 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”
We woke up to our beautiful view of the babbling brook. We took it easy this morning because we thought we only had 10 miles to go. The Dreamer (formerly known as Sissy Bear) was hard to wake up.
We started the day with breakfast at the inn. As we left our rooms and walking down the hall towards the door I realized we didn’t have our trekking poles. Then it dawned on me that Sissy Bear and I both left our trekking… Continue Reading “Day 7 on the Vermont Long Trail”

It rained through the night and was still raining when we woke up this morning. Poor Sissy Bear woke up several times through the night to be sure her tent would still open. She has a fear of getting stuck in the tent so… Continue Reading “Day 5 on the Vermont Long Trail”
Today was packed with fun! We realized we had to hit town a day earlier than anticipated due to the food count. We geared up for a long day. Kids were dreading it because we had to push over 17 miles today in order… Continue Reading “Day 4 on the Vermont Long Trail”
Our bag was hung from a tree limb about 9 ft off the ground last night. Our bag was still attacked by either mice or chipmunks. We were lucky and only lost a few of the meal bars. We have a big hole in… Continue Reading “Day 2 on the Vermont Long Trail”
We woke up at 5am to get the journey started. We had everything packed and laid out in the room for an easy take off. Sissy bear was very unhappy about this. We were able to get our car parked at the Greylock Community… Continue Reading “Day 1 on the Vermont Long Trail”
