AT 121 - 27th July [489.2]

 


The leash. 

Comfort Inn - Rutland


Tough day. 4500 up was hard but the 4500 down was just as hard. 2nd highest mountain in VT. Low cloud took all the views away. Got to road and tried to  thumb a lift into town. Then the Sheriff turned up and pulled up beside me, oh no. He asked my name and trail name , he was looking for a missing hiker. I thought he was going to ticket me for hitchhiking, it’s illegal in NY  and wasn’t sure about VT. Free bus came and I got into town. Resupply in Walmart and then washing in Comfort inn. Steakhouse right beside us so we walked over. They had a buffet on Thursday and we hit the jackpot, we kept going back. Tummy a bit sore all night from overeating!!!!


There’s a 4?? to go. 


500 to go marker!!!

Bank washed away
