Our last day was a beautiful one for hiking. Mostly sunny and high 60s.
It was only 13.8 miles, up Cove Mountain and over Dragons Tooth. Dragons Tooth was very tough however - reminded us a little of Maine and New Hampshire. So in spite of the shorter distance, it was still dark by the time we reached the road. The days are short this time of year.
The hike was nice overall though. Some hand over hand climbing, knife edge, good vistas, and farm and pasture land. All on the last day. It was a good way to end.
I will do a final summary posting to wrap this up. After that, this journal is complete (although I am considering how to add information about our previous hikes in 2007 and 2008). Time to go back to the real world. It has been fun.
Way to go!! We can only hope to finish the trail one day. We have enjoyed following your adventures on the trail. Terry and I left you two in N. Adams, MA in June and returned home to IL. Then we came back in Sept. and did 102 miles in VT. Probably won't finish next year but hopefully in 2012!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we'll see you on the trail again someday.
Keep hiking!
