A regular activity on trail. Stopping for water. So much water on this trail!

Too foggy to climb the fire tower

Last mile up to Stratton Pond Shelter @reneetougas motivating me to keep moving up that peak- that hardest last push to supper and setting up camp!!

@hammerhead and @karentogo nearing the summit of Stratton Mountain.

New England asters - my favorite fall hiking flower

One mud-slide I couldn’t stop- the landing could have been messier- glad for quick-dry (albeit) dirty shorts!

We see so many mushrooms on the trail: red, yellow and moldy black. This was such a cute colony. Also saw red efts in the trail, those adorable red salamanders.

@karentogo navigates the famous Ver”mud”.

And this is why they call it Vermud. @karentogo

While we hunkered down at the shelter waiting out the rain, The Long Trail was building on its Ver-Mud reputation. @hammerhead @reneetougas @toesalad are navigating through stepping from rock to log to puddles...sunshine above helps!
