Stats from 4 day hike of the AT in Vermont:
* 45.3 miles hiked,11,672 elevation gain
* hikers: southbound 1.5, northbound 8
* Chipmunks talked to 3, chewed out by 1
* times lost <1, some road crossings require a bit of scrutiny, does scrutinizing constitute lostness? * trail magic: 0 food, 1 water (yay!)
* people at campsite: 1 on 1st & 2nd night, no one 3rd
* weight lost: 8lbs
Near the end (for me), overlooking Kent Pond with trees sporting Fall colors on other shore
View from The Lookout shelter, which has a deck on roof you get to via outside ladder (private land, hikers welcom)
Top of a peak near Pomfret with a bench to enjoy the view of the Vermont peaks and what鈥檚 left of foliage

I am so weary of it
I might prefer hunger
