@brienne rockin’ her new shades, found moments earlier on the trail.

Our last Nova Scotia beach hike before heading home tomorrow.

Three generations out for a short Thanksgiving hike in Nova Scotia. Nice to be out with @celine today, as she gets older hiking with her is becoming a less frequent event.

Back at the car, our gear loaded in the back, and somewhat surprised it is already over. You know it was a good trip when:

• Everyone is still smiling at the end
• Everyone is already talking about when they will get out for their next overnight trip, and attempting to finish the second half of the Long Trail next year
• Restaurant water tastes disgusting
• @reneetougas is starting to think about “training” for higher mileage days, and... flirting with the idea of section hiking the PCT at some (undetermined) future date

One of the best vistas we have seen so far... in the last mile of our trip from the platform of a chairlift at the Middlebury College Snow Bowl :-)

Switchback photo shootout with @karentogo

There is so much history in this trail. Doug left his mark with charcoal on the underside of the shelter roof 39 years ago, and it looks like it could have been written yesterday.

Our last morning in camp. It is so hard to believe this is the last day already.
