2 More States

Vermont has been one of my favorite states to hike in so far. When we walked into Vermont the weather opened up and the sun came out for the first time in 3 days... the temperature was perfect! We're starting to climb some big mountains now, elevations we haven't seen since Virginia. Yesterday and today we got some serious rain, hardest I've walked in. Sunday Tarzan, Tosh, and I walked to Killington, Vermont because it was very close to the trail and there was an outfitter we needed to get stuff at. We ended up calling G's mom who lives near by and she offered to let us stay the night. We hiked with G for hundreds of miles through the smokies and to Tennessee until she had to get off the trail for a while due to an injury. We stayed in a renovated barn behind a cottage on a lake. It was so nice we took a zero the next day to relax:)  G's mom and dad were such nice people and we ate the best food. I was super thankful they took us in for a couple days, it was one of the best days off I've had on the trip and a great experience. Today I am 5 miles away from the New Hampshire border!! That means 2 more states to walk through to get to Mt. Katahdin. The White Mountains are coming up so soon. This is a part of the trail that has been talked about since Georgia. The toughest part of the whole trail but also has the coolest scenery. I'm so excited to hike this section. Best part is when your done with The Whites your in Maine, and that's just super exciting. I'm looking forward to this part of the trip, I've got all the best sections right in front of me then I get to go home and see my friends and family.
