1600 miles July 25, 2019Hikeadmin The tower at the summit of Mt. Greylock, the highest point in MA. It took quite a long time to climb to the top. Also at the top is Bascom Lodge where I got a delicious hamburger and two root beers before heading down to that night’s shelter. Descending into North Adams where I resupplied (so I could skip Bennington VT) at Stop & Shop only 0.6 miles from the trail. Leaving MA and entering VT I met to southbound (SOBO) hikers, Theory and Sun, who took my picture. As the post title says, I passed the 1600 mile mark just shortly after entering VT The recent rain has made the trail wet as a stream, muddy and mucky. My shoes, socks and feet are constantly wet.
Awesome! Glad you survived the heat wave. May it be cool and breezy on your trek.
