Its getting close to the Long Trail

  Good Morning , Not much of an update today. We had an expedition meeting , the venue was the same as most of other meetings but held at a different time. 7:30 am so this meant we had coffee instead of beverage. I suppose this was a god thing. With the trip being about 3 weeks out we had to finalize the first couple of hotels, small menu planning and discuss if any additional gear would be required. I don't think we need any addition gear to carry we should be throwing some stuff out. ounces will feel like pounds by the time we are done.
   A brief trail outline.... It will cover the full state of Vermont from North to South, we will be hiking South to North as it is a little easier that way.When I say a little easier I don't mean walk in the park. The length of the trail is 272 miles or for us Canadians its 437 km. oh oh I just threw up a little bit in my mouth....The trail was first completed in 1910 and is one of the oldest hiking long trails in America, it was actually the trail that started the dream for the Appalachian trail. both the trails run together for about 100 miles. We will cross many of the mountain peaks across the state.
    Hotels are now planned , food has been discussed, gear has been tested and most importantly the Bud Light has been arranged for the end. nothing else left to do but HIKE.



Eat,
Hike,
Sleep,
Repeat!
