End of the journey.

When can we go again?

Talking about finishing the trail next year.

Happy 65 birthday Mom and Dad and 45th wedding anniversary - the reason we did this trip together was to celebrate these milestones. And happy hiking to al my hiking partners on this trip @toesalad, @karentogo, @hammerhead - love all of you so much!!

Leaving the Long Trail, getting our car at Middlebury Gap, a group of cyclists congregating in the parking lot before heading downhill.

Hiking through Middlebury Snow Bowl. A reminder for me that the next season’s sport is skiing, can’t wait!

Leaving Joseph Battell wilderness. @toesalad estimating we have a mile and a bit to go.

Somewhere on Worth Mt looking east.

We had so many foggy views on this trip. Here’s @hammehead at The Great Cliff at Mount Horrid. From May to August this area is closed to protect Peregrine Falcon nesting.

I have loved my time out here. Happiest hiking trip for me in many years. I’m hooked, again.

@hammerhead heading out
